Winery | The 92 hectares of old-vine Tempranillo that were eventually selected produce fragrant, concentrated fruit on these poor, well-drained soils. Winemaking, managed as it is by Vega Sicilia, is exemplary, typifying the complex, textural house style while transparently expressing a very different terroir. The results are thrilling. From plots of limestone soils with a more sandy-clay profile. |
