Spain

Vega Sicilia is widely regarded as the greatest wine producer in Spain. The estate in Ribera del Duero is known for its dense, complex red wines made principally from the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grape variety. Its top wine, Unico, is one of Spain's most expensive and sought-after wines.

2017 was a very challenging year, as most of their vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja were affected by frost, unlike others in nearby Laguardia. Not only was it frost, but they also had hail later on in the season.

This is a non-vintage Vega Sicilia and a tribute to tradition. Unico Reserva Especial is a true homage to the history of Spanish wine, perfectly combining the characteristics of different Unico vintages.

Dark violet-red in the glass, this wine has a nose of cassis, black cherry and clove. The palate offers a nice combination of fruit and spice with flavors of blackberry, black currant, dark chocolate and licorice, and a note of clove on the finish.

Legendary Galician winemaker Raul Perez does it again with this Mencia dominant blend. 80% of whole clusters are used in 'Ultreia Saint Jacques,' which adds texture and weight to this seriously elegant wine. Drink one now, lay one down.

Quinta Milú La Cometa is a concentrated red wine with black fruit, toasted and balsamic notes. On the palate it is powerful, elegant and well structured.

For their dedication, their passion and being the axis of the Moro family, the third generation pays tribute to their mother, Felisa, with the brand's first organic wine free of added sulfites.

Intense red-violet color. Very mineral nose with a lot of red fruit, mint and a peppermint background, very complex aromas in perfect harmony with the tertiary aromas of its long aging in the barrel.

A blend of Garnacha Tintorera, Palomino, Trousseau, Garnacha, and Mencia, from vineyards that range from 800-1000 meters in altitude. Grapes are de-stemmed and fermentation and aging is in a combination of tanks, amphorae, and cement eggs. A lovely, light bodied red, with subtle tannic structure, and bright red floral aromatics.

Rayos Uva is winemaker Olivier Rivière’s version of a Bourgogne Rouge, sourced from fruit grown in the sandy, gravelly, alluvial soils of the Rioja Baja sub-region in the eastern part of Rioja. This blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha is crafted to convey a brightly fruity version of Rioja unmarked by oak.

The bedrock is schistous: the same rock that underlies the Port vineyards of the Douro further downstream.

With sensitivity and intuition, the winemaker from the Spanish winery Bodegas Nexus masters the picturesque and enchanting landscape of the Duero Valley (Castilla y Leon). With the special Nexus Plus+ DO from 2009, you will positively surprise your friends.
