Link profile: Vega Sicilia


Category: Start / Spain and its Regions / Old Castile and León (Castilla-León) / Ribera del Duero
Vega Sicilia consistently produces some of the greatest wine or simply the greatest in Spain and some of the best in the world. It is able to do so because of the nature of the grapes it grows (low yield, full-flavoured) and extremely meticulous production processes, and though its prices are stratospheric (70 euros for the cheap stuff, 170 for the Unico, at 2007 prices) few would argue that Vega Sicilias are overpriced. Another thing is the sort of money that changes hands at auction when past reserves are brought out - one website calculates that the average auction price of a bottle of 1968 Vega Sicilia Unico is currently nearly $1,100, and over $1,600 has been paid. Don't these people have kids to send to university? The link goes to the bodega's own website, under reconstuction at the time of writing.
