Vega Sicilia Wine
Ribera del Duero’s aristocratic
Vega Sicilia winery has a long
history dating back to 1864, and
the exceptional Vega Sicilia Unico
is Spain’s most famous wine.
Since 1982 the winery has been
owned by the Álvarez family,
members of the Primum Familiae
Vini, a global (and very restricted)
association of some of the world’s
top winemaking families.
Around 40% of Vega Sicilia’s
vineyards are planted in
traditional Bordeaux varieties
introduced by the winery’s
founder, Elroy Lecanda y Chaves,
back in the 1800s. Their favoured
variety, though, is Tempranillo,
which winemaker Javier Ausdas
deems to be ‘the best in the
world’. With some of the vines
over 100 years old, here it is all
about patience, aging in barrel
and bottle for as long as it takes
to achieve the family’s exalted
goals.
If the vintage doesn’t stack up,
the flagship Vega Sicilia Unico will
simply not be made. There is a
5000-person waiting list to
become eligible for an annual
allotment, and really, you’d be
leaving these wines for decades
to realize their true potential,
before popping the cork. |
