The Unico is the Vega Sicilia flagship. Unico undergoes an extraordinary ageing process: more than ten years in oak and bottle. In its undisturbed slumber, this inimitable wine creates a timeless cellaring perspective. Like its name, this unique wine is a tribute to the Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards of the Vega Sicilia estate.

The 2015 vintage ripened quickly, evenly and exceptionally well. It was essential to harvest the grapes al dente, when they were crisp, fresh and juicy, to avoid over-ripening. This wine has an intense ripe cherry colour, with the lively edge of a wine that is always at its best. The aroma prevails with hints of roast from the wood, and touches of hazelnut from its oxidative evolution from its years in the cask. It has generous tastes of old but clean wood, with dry tannins that are pleasantly embittered by the oak, together with the sensation of its light sweetness of its alcohol. It is a pedigree wine with a long, lasting taste.

Blend: 96% Tempranillo and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon
