Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5 | D.O Ribera del Duero

Winery: Vega Sicilia (Ribera del Duero) I Variety: Tempranillo, Merlot

The “5º” denotes five years of aging—barrel and bottle—before release, yielding a harmonious balance of elegance and depth . Expect expressive layers of dark and red berries, violets, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and spice. Medium‑ to full‑bodied, with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, refined finish.

Pairing: Excellent with roasted or grilled red meats (particularly beef or lamb), stews, Spanish cured meats, and aged cheeses. Also delicious on its own. Fans note its complexity and savory fruit combination, even likening it to a Bordeaux-style experience as it opens
