Vintage: 2017
Producer: Vega Sicilia
Valbuena 5º is the purest expression of Vega Sicilia’s red wine. It is aged for five years between barrel and bottle, giving rise to the wine’s name: Valbuena 5º.
A complex vintage influenced by frosts and drought. A quick and early harvest, definitely a challenging vintage we interpreted by extracting less during fermentation and making adjustments in ageing. The first year of ageing 10 % less new oak barrels were used and ageing took place in wooden casks during the second year, essential when it comes to developing the wine’s harmony and tension.
Tasting Notes: Valbuena 5º 2017 is more mature, juicy, and voluptuous expression, with the focus always on harmony.
