GRAPE VARIETIES: 96% Tinto Fino and 4% Merlot
TASTING NOTES: Deep and complex, with fresh black and blue fruit and an attractive floral and peppery note to this vintage, followed by hints of cedar, sweet spice and vanilla. Very dusty and juicy on the palate, with mealy, powdery tannins that interweave with the fruit. A Valbuena 5 that you can appreciate earlier.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Pizza | Pasta | Red Meat | Cold Cuts | Bo Sot Vang | Bun Bo Nam Bo
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. Valbuena is the purest expression of red wine at Vega Sicilia and is aged for five years between barrel and bottle, which lends its name to the end product: Valbuena 5º.
