✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Vega Sicilia's Reserva Especial is a spectacular tribute to Spanish winemaking tradition, reviving the historical practice of blending different vintages of 'Unico' to create a wine of ultimate consistency, complexity, and balance. The 2015 Release is a masterfully curated blend of three exceptional vintages: 1994, 1996, and 2000. Crafted primarily from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, this legendary cuvee represents the pinnacle of Ribera del Duero's high-altitude clay-limestone terroir. The wine undergoes an incredibly rigorous aging regime in both French and American oak barrels before resting in the bottle. This painstaking process yields a profound, multi-dimensional red wine characterized by notes of dried dark fruits, tobacco, cedar, exotic spices, and seamless, velvety tannins.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves in Valbuena de Duero within Spain's Ribera del Duero region, Vega Sicilia stands as one of the most legendary and revered wine estates in the world. Acquired by the Álvarez family in 1982, the winery has steadfastly preserved its heritage of meticulous viticulture and aristocratic winemaking, harmonizing indigenous Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with Bordeaux varietals. Renowned for exceptionally long barrel and bottle aging regimens that often span a decade or more before release, the estate crafts complex, long-lived masterworks. Its flagship cuvées, including the iconic Único, the multi-vintage Único Reserva Especial, and Valbuena 5°, remain timeless benchmarks of Spanish winemaking excellence.
