Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º Ano 2019 75cl
Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5 Ano, Ribera del Duero, Spain
Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5 Ano is a world class Ribera del Duero produced by the legendary Tempos Vega Sicilia. It is primarily made up of Tinto Fino, the local name for Tempranillo, with small amounts of Merlot blended in. Fruit is sourced from the 210ha Finca Vega Sicilia vineyard, planted at 700-900m altitude with a density of 2,222 vines per hectare.
This iconic wine is aged over five winters in barrel then bottle, hence the name: Valbuena 5º Ano. The crucial first year of ageing takes place in smaller barrels, comprising 75% French oak and 25% American oak. The second year of ageing takes place in large oak vats and, during this stage, the wine gains elegance, complexity, tension and subtlety. This is the perfect balance between elegance, complexity and concentration.
The 2018 vintage is a particularly fresh, pure expression of this wine. Suitable for drinking now, but with potential to age for 25 years if kept in the right storage conditions.
