A blend of 96% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 4% Merlot, sourced from vineyards between 720 and 930 meters on limestone marl soils. The 2021 growing season, marked by the historic Filomena snowstorm in January followed by a wet spring and cool summer, produced pristine, perfectly balanced grapes, one of the estate's finest years. Expect a silky, almost haute couture texture, with delicately pitched black fruit, graphite ink, cedar, black cherry, and a faint mineral line, backed by refined, promising tannins. Widely regarded as one of Ribera del Duero's standout vintages of the decade, and one of the finest expressions of Valbuena in recent memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRegion: Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León, Spain\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Vega Sicilia\u003cbr\u003eGrape Blend: 96% Tempranillo (Tinto Fino), 4% Merlot\u003cbr\u003eVintage: 2021\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size: 750m\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vega Sicilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46684528443578,"sku":"105164","price":209.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/119d50bc5db69f292c65965dfa0a38ed.jpg?v=1789672494","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2021-vega-sicilia-valbuena-750ml-pre-arrival","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
