Spain Vega Sicilia

Our committee's review

Vega Sicilia is undoubtedly one of the best wines in the world and without a doubt the finest wine from Spain.

This global vineyard legend derives its strength from a place and a family, fervently sought after by enthusiasts from all over the world.

These lands, bathed by the Duero and shaped by an austere climate and skilled hands, indeed forge one of the crown jewels of global viticulture: Vega Sicilia. The Alvarez family has created an icon, linking land, time, and man for eternity.

If these wines rank among the world's viticultural elite, nothing has been left to chance: the barrels are crafted by the estate using their unique methods; the aging processes are extremely lengthy, with some cuvées only reaching the market after waiting up to 10 years.

A synthesis of the purest expression of wines produced at Vega Sicilia, the 2018 red Ribera del Duero Valbuena 5 ano carries a spectacular balance around great finesse. Especially in this cooler year compared to previous ones, the wine offers a new interpretation, with a radiant tinto fino (96%), perfectly polished by wood. A proven aging technique that adapts to each vintage and thus delivers the wine in all its truth, with a strong spicy accent that brings it closer to the Unico style, great freshness, and a lot of elegance. Brilliant! Rated 96/100 by Parker.

Considered one of Parker's favorite vintages, the 2011 red Ribera del Duero Vega Sicilia Unico has developed during aging notes of black fruits, undergrowth, and eucalyptus. This vintage, both concentrated, elegant, silky, precise, and deep, is an extraordinary wine. It's a true delight, available only in the greatest vintages! Rated 94/100 by Parker.

The result of a warm, sunny vintage that produced ripe, concentrated grapes sitting beautifully on a robust body that has had plenty of time to refine during its 10 years of cellar ageing, the 2012 Red Ribera del Duero Vega Sicilia Unico is a total success! Its notes of black fruit, smoke and dried meat, with a touch of spice and precious wood, form a voluptuous aromatic bouquet. It's a baroque wine, both powerful and refined, with good aging potential but already intensely delicious. It occupies a special place in the hierarchy of the world's great wines. Rated 96/100 by Parker.
