🏡 Featured Producer

🍇 Vega Sicilia | Ribera del Duero, Spain
Founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves in Valbuena de Duero, Vega Sicilia is one of Spain’s most historic and prestigious wine estates, often described as the country’s equivalent of a “First Growth.” Owned by the Álvarez family since 1982, the estate combines traditional craftsmanship with an uncompromising commitment to quality.

At its heart is Tinto Fino, the local expression of Tempranillo, complemented by Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon. Its flagship Único is celebrated for its complexity, longevity and exceptional maturation—typically a decade or more in oak and bottle before release. Alongside it, Único Reserva Especial blends several vintages, while Valbuena 5° offers an expression aged for five years.

The family’s Tempos Vega Sicilia portfolio also includes Alión in Ribera del Duero, Pintia in Toro and Oremus in Hungary’s Tokaj region, whose Petrács Furmint 2022 opens this evening’s tasting.
