Vega Sicilia holds legendary status among Spanish wine producers, having been founded in 1864 in the western reaches of what is today the Ribera del Duero DO. Its flagship wine ‘Unico’ is often equated to Spain`s First Growth wines. The 1985 vintage has beautifully matured into a highly complex wine, showcasing precise scents of gingerbread, an abundance of pure red berries, hints of blue fruit, mineral notes, and an array of herbs. It continually evolves and unfolds, underpinned by a finely integrated structure and a robust acidic backbone.
