Valbuena 5º is Vega Sicilia's purest red wine expression. The aging process, five years in oak and in the bottle, gives the wine its name: Valbuena 5º.
Two extraordinary events marked 2020, a year they will never forget. On one hand, Covid forced them to adapt to new circumstances and take protective measures never needed before, which also greatly strengthened team spirit. On the other hand, heavy rainfall before the harvest changed their predictions. In this vintage, it was essential to be vigilant in the vineyard, tasting and checking the grapes for concentration after dilution from the rain.
Valbuena 5º 2020 is a more ethereal, elegant, and subtle expression. Delicate, yet also rich and profound. A true delight.
Nose: Ethereal and elegant with subtle aromas.
Palate: Delicate, rich, and deep.
Finish: Subtle and lingering.
