The Vega Sicilia vineyard, planted on predominantly limestone soils similar to those in Burgundy, is known for producing one of the world's greatest wines. The name, contrary to what one might think, has no connection to Sicily, but comes from the Santos Sicilia family, previous owners of the vineyard, and the Spanish word "Vega," meaning "valley." On a 1,000-hectare property located at an elevation of 700 meters above the Duero River, 210 hectares are devoted to vines. Bordeaux grape varieties (cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and malbec) occupy 20 percent, while tempranillo has returned to dominance with 80 percent. The climate is continental, with an Atlantic influence. The uniqueness of Vega Sicilia lies in its unique and often controversial aging process. The wines initially mature in large oak barrels for one year, then are transferred to barrels of different sizes and ages. The aging period, which ranges from five to 10 years, softens the wine's powerful character. Some older vintages have been aged for more than 25 years in barrels, but today the estate adopts a more classic method, limited to about ten years.
