Vega Sicilia, the crown jewel of Spanish wineries, boasts a history as rich as its wines. Established in 1864 by Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, this iconic estate in Ribera del Duero quickly became a symbol of excellence. The secret to its legendary status? A masterful blend of Spanish Tempranillo and Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, aged to perfection. Over the years, Vega Sicilia has achieved near-mythical status, producing some of the world's most coveted wines. The estate's flagship, Unico, is renowned for its complexity, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. An interesting tidbit: Vega Sicilia was once so exclusive that it was rumoured to be the only wine served at Spanish royal weddings. In the wine world, Vega Sicilia isn't just a name—it's an icon.
