Spanish Greatness, With a Long Wait

anne — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:43:18 +0000

The rare wines of the Vega Sicilia winery reach their peak after decades – if you can get them. Stan Sesser seeks out one of the most highly regarded – and unusual – wines on the planet. There’s no sign at the Vega Sicilia winery and no tasting room. Waving a wad of money to buy a bottle of wine will do you no good; nothing at the winery is for sale. Of its two top labels, called Unico and Unico Especial, the first is released only after aging for at least a decade in barrels and the second is a blend of grapes harvested in three different years, a rarity in the world of red wine, so the bottle doesn’t have a vintage date on it.

Ribera del Duero is a region on the rise

A Very Good Year

anne — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:34:50 +0000

1974 was a birth year shared by two iconic superstars from Spain – Penelope Cruz and Vega Sicilia Unico. Jeff Grocott links the 1974 vintage to a bygone era in Spain and briefly outlines the history of Vega Sicilia culminating with a 500 bottle auction of Unico from various vintages at Sotheby’s, New York this past November including tasting notes for Unico 1999 — the current vintage.
