Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º Año 2018 is a remarkable example of the winemaking tradition of Vega Sicilia, Spain's most iconic winery, recognized worldwide for its exceptional quality. This wine is primarily a blend of the Tempranillo variety, with contributions from Merlot and a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards from which the Tempranillo comes are located on concave slopes that allow for proper air circulation, creating an optimal environment for cultivation. The crafting of this wine is meticulous. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, using indigenous yeasts, which contributes to the product's uniqueness. Subsequently, the wine undergoes 5 years of aging between wood and bottle, in French and American oak barrels of 225 liters, as well as in tuns of 20,000 liters. This lengthy and complex process results in a wine of great character and finesse. Ideal to accompany dishes such as stews, roasted lamb, vegetables, soups, both small and large game, and casseroles, Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º Año is recommended to be decanted before serving. The ideal consumption temperature ranges between 17 and 19ºC. With an alcohol content of 14.5% and presented in a 75 cl format, this red wine represents the magnificent DO Ribera del Duero and is a true gem for any wine lover.
