    About 'Vega Sicilia'

    Vega Sicilia

    With over 160 years of history, it is a prestigious winery in Ribera del Duero, Spain, known as the 'jewel of Spain'.
    In 1982, the Alvarez family, the current owners, acquired Vega Sicilia, which gave birth to the 'Tempos Vega Sicilia' group centered around Vega Sicilia. Subsequently, in 1991, 'Alion' was established about 15 kilometers east of Vega Sicilia, and in 2001, 'Pintia' was established in Toro. In 2009, 'Macán' was established in Rioja as a joint venture with the Baron Edmond de Rothschild family. Internationally, in 1993, they acquired 'Oremus' in the Tokaj region of Hungary. It has now developed into one of Spain's leading winery groups, with five premium wineries.

    Under the philosophy that 'the best wine has yet to be made', they continue to produce wine focusing on origins and traditions, without following trends. They believe that 'time', as expressed in the group's name 'Tempos', is what creates the best wine, carefully attending to grapes and patiently waiting for the right time for aging.
    Known as one of the world's best long-aged wines, 'Unico' is finally released after over 10 years of aging in barrels and bottles. It is said to be capable of aging for over 50 years, continuously evolving in the bottle, which captivates wine lovers around the world.
