BRAND NAME: Vega Sicilia
Vega Sicilia became a part of the Álvarez family's life in 1982. With a constant and steady growth, Vega Sicila is the most historical and prestigious winery from Spain today. This winery is known for its rich, complex reds made primarily from the grape Tinto Fino (Tempranillo). Yields are kept low, aided by green harvesting and painstaking grape selection. Winery operations are just as meticulous, with a complicated series of rackings from large barrels to barriques, mixing old and new oak and leading to wines that are capable of long aging.
