Vega-Sicilia’s Tinto Valbuena 5º Año 2019, from Ribera del Duero, blends Tempranillo and Merlot from 30-year-old vines on limestone soils. The 2019 vintage, warm and balanced, produced concentrated grapes. Fermented in oak and aged 5 years in French and American oak, it shows deep ruby with blackberry, violet, and spice aromas, plus minerality and oak. Full-bodied, it offers firm tannins, vibrant acidity (5.5 g/L), and rich fruit with a long finish. Sustainable practices ensure excellence. Ideal for beef or game, it evolves through 2036. A Ribera gem.
