Tasting Notes

"Opaque ruby. Ripe cherry, dark berries and oak spice on the highly perfumed nose. Fleshy and sweet, offering intense blackberry and cherry-cola flavors that put on weight and become spicier with air. Finishes smooth and expansive, with a smoky nuance and youthfully chewy tannins. This powerful yet lithe wine boasts excellent focus and dark fruit intensity." - Josh Raynolds, Vinous

Producer spotlight

Tempos Vega Sicilia

Grapes were first grown in the area we know today as Ribera del Duero since Roman times. One of the Roman’s requirements for settlement in any area was access to clean water and the means to transport goods. These requirements were delivered by the Duero valley and the river running through it. In 1864, Eloy Lecanda founded the winery that is today Spain’s most famous wine. The estate suffered a period of turbulence in the years following it’s founding with real stability being achieved only when the Álvarez family considered adding winemaking to their already extensive portfolio of diversified businesses. The Vega Sicilia we know today began in 1982, when billionaire industrialist David Álvarez acquired the winery and the vineyards.
