Unico
Of the 1.000 hectares which make up the Vega Sicilia estate, 210 are used for wine growing, under 19 soil-types divided into 52 plots with very specific characteristics. The influence of the Duero river's flow and the passage of time have been vital in forming these soils.
40 of these hectares are used to produce Unico with a minimum 10-year ageing process, including both barrel and bottle, probably the world's longest. 225-litre French and American oak barrels, both new and used, 20,000-litre tanks.
A long complex process for a legendary wine.
Like UNICO 2005, UNICO 2006 was bottle aged for an additional two years and rewards us with an ample, profound, silky wine to keep in memory.
