Alión Ribera del Duero | Vega Sicilia – The Fulham Wine Company

Vega Sicilia

Vega Sicilia is the benchmark estate of Ribera del Duero and one of Spain’s most revered names in fine wine. Founded in the 19th century, the estate is defined by patience and precision, often ageing its wines for many years before release. A meticulous approach to blending and extended maturation in both French and American oak gives the wines depth, structure and remarkable longevity. Vega Sicilia produces refined, cellar-worthy wines that balance power with elegance, earning a reputation among collectors as one of the great icons of European wine.

Ribera del Duero

Ribera del Duero is a place of extremes. Situated on the high plateau of Castile and León, the vineyards here are subjected to scorching summers and biting winters - a climate the locals describe as "nine months of winter, three months of hell." This dramatic temperature shift is the region's secret weapon, thickening the skins of the Tempranillo (known here as Tinto Fino) to produce wines of immense concentration, dark fruit, and brooding structure. Once a quiet stretch of the Duero river known only for Vega Sicilia, it is now the undisputed heartland of modern Spanish luxury wine.
