Vega Sicilia Único 2016

Vega Sicilia Único 2016 is the flagship wine of Bodegas Vega Sicilia, produced in the Ribera del Duero D.O. from a meticulous selection of the finest vineyards within the historic Valbuena de Duero estate. The 2016 vintage is composed of 97% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from vineyards with an average age of around 35 years, planted on clay-limestone and alluvial soils. Cool temperatures during September allowed for a slow and balanced ripening process, resulting in a wine of exceptional fragrance, elegance and freshness. True to the house style, Único 2016 has undergone its legendary ageing process of more than ten years in oak and bottle, one of the longest ageing regimes in the world, giving the wine extraordinary complexity and remarkable ageing potential.
