Valbuena 5º is the purest expression of red wine in Vega Sicilia, with a five-year aging process between wood and bottle, which gives its name to the wine: Valbuena 5º.

A drier vintage than the previous ones, reflected in the grape harvest at the beginning of September. Very healthy grapes and thanks to the rains that fell at this time, a good ripening of the skins was achieved. Our obsession was to find that point of freshness without falling into excessive ripening. During fermentation, we took care to extract gently. Of course, we adapted the aging process by aging part of the wine in tanks during the first year to seek more tension in the wines. In this vintage, we gave less weight to American oak and more to French oak, especially with fresh toasts. In the second year of aging, the tanks worked on that complexity of nuances and above all on the elegance in the texture.

Valbuena 5º is both succulent and powerful, tense and delicate. It is expressive, elegant, joyful, deep, it is a fascinating wine.
