Description

The year 2013 offers a vintage characterized by its subtlety, elegance and freshness, with vertical, complex, silky and precise notes. This wine embodies a unique paradox: it is pleasant to be tasted at the moment, but its aging in the bottle gives it a sensory eternity that makes it exceptional. Discover the magic of this wine in our online store and immerse yourself in a unique experience of flavors and aromas that last over time.

The exceptional vintage of Vega Sicilia Unico 2013, from the renowned Vega Sicilia winery, offers an exceptional blend of Tempranillo (97%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (3%). This wine masterpiece is the fruit of the commitment of the Tempos Vega Sicilia group. Since it was acquired by David Álvarez Díez in 1982, the international reputation of this winery, founded in 1864, has been constantly rising, establishing unmatched quality standards in the wine universe.

Of the extensive 1.000 hectares of Finca Vega Sicilia, 210 are dedicated to the cultivation of vineyards, where 19 types of soil coexist distributed in 64 plots with specific characteristics. The exceptional management of these soils has been crucial, influenced by the course of the Duero River and the passage of time. A total of 40 hectares are reserved for Unico production, with an average vineyard age of 33 years and altitudes ranging between 700 and 900 meters above sea level.

The harvest is done manually in 12 kg boxes. The aging of Vega Sicilia Unico 2013, with a minimum of 10 years between the wood and the bottle, stands out as one of the longest in the world. 225 liter French and American oak barrels are used, as well as 22.000 liter wooden vats. This extensive and complex process gives the wines a surprising variety of nuances, precision, texture and depth as they evolve.

This wine can be enjoyed today, but its aging capacity ranges between 40 and 60 years, as long as it is stored under ideal conditions: a temperature of 12 to 14 ºC (54-57 ºF) and a relative humidity of 60%. . Thanks to the extraordinary terroir and unique aging, these wines acquire an eternal quality over time. Discover and purchase this wine gem in our online store, where you will find the unique Vega Sicilia Unico 2013 wine.
