Vega Sicilia

Vega Sicilia, an iconic wine producer in Spain’s Ribera del Duero region, is celebrated for its legendary wines, particularly its flagship Unico. Founded in 1864, Vega Sicilia combines centuries-old winemaking traditions with meticulous attention to detail and modern innovations. The estate’s vineyards, planted with Tempranillo and other Bordeaux varietals, benefit from the unique terroir and microclimate of the region. Vega Sicilia’s wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and remarkable ageing potential.

Ribera del Duero

Ribera del Duero is a prestigious wine region located in northern Spain, renowned for its exceptional red wines, primarily made from the Tempranillo grape, locally known as Tinta del País or Tinto Fino. The region spans the upper valley of the Duero River and benefits from a continental climate with hot, dry summers and harsh winters, which contribute to the unique character of its wines. The combination of high altitude, limestone-rich soils, and significant temperature variations between day and night enhances the concentration and complexity of the grapes. Ribera del Duero is home to some of Spain’s most celebrated wineries, including Vega Sicilia and Dominio de Pingus, which produce bold, full-bodied wines with rich flavours of dark fruit, spices, and a distinct earthy quality. Established as a Denomination of Origin (DO) in 1982, the region has quickly become synonymous with high-quality, age-worthy wines that compete on the world stage.
