It was produced with 97% Tinto Fino and 3% Merlot, cooled down for 24 hours and then fermented with indigenous yeasts from a pied de cuve in stainless steel. It matured in barrel and oak vats during the first year, and in the second one, it aged exclusively in oak vats of different sizes, 8,500 and 21,000 liters. In 2020, the wine is finer-boned, more fluid and only medium-bodied, perhaps because of the dilution from the rain; the tannins are fine-grained and polished, but there's less juiciness in the wine. It calls for food. With time in the glass, the wine opens up and becomes more aromatic, and it even seems to gain juiciness and change texture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- 95\/100, Luis Gutierrez, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"js-anchor-sticky-cart\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sticky-cart-wr shadow d-flex active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"js-sticky-prd\" class=\"container align-self-center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vega Sicilia","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":57500318138699,"sku":"WOLMA12916S","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":57801649455435,"sku":null,"price":230.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/vega-sicilia-valbuena-5-2020-tempranillo-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore_240x_ed7a5ff8-6ca0-431d-b483-de7c3c1bf493.webp?v=1783592401","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/vega-sicilia-valbuena-5-2020","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
