Vega Sicilia Tinto Valbuena

Valbuena is the purest expression of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) in Vega Sicilia, where it is the dominant variety in the assemblage of grapes. Merlot is also used, blended to varying degrees depending on the vintage.

The Tempranillo grapes used for Valbuena are grown on gentle concave slopes that descend from the wasteland. The soils are composed of colluvial material eroded from the upper slopes, developing a high profile soil with a deep calcic horizon. This unique soil contributes to the exceptional quality of the wine.
