Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º 2021

Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º 2021

This 2021 Valbuena 5º from Vega Sicilia reflects the estate’s signature precision and balance, combining estate Tempranillo with a touch of Merlot. The wine is shaped by careful vineyard selection and extended maturation in oak and large wooden vats, enhancing structure while preserving fruit clarity and aromatic finesse.

Tasting Notes:

• Rich ruby-garnet colour.
• The bouquet opens with pure dark fruit aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, supported by refined layers of cedar, tobacco, graphite, and soft baking spice.
• The palate is poised and harmonious, with smooth yet firm tannins and a sleek, vertical structure.
• Fresh acidity runs through the wine, leading to a long, mineral-tinged finish with excellent definition.
