  • Valbuena is the pure expression of a red at Vega Sicilia, with an ageing process, from barrel to bottle, which lasts five years and gives its name: Valbuena 5º (5th). Both new and used 225-litre French and American oak barrels and 8.500-litre vats are used for a long and complex process for perhaps, the wine which has evolved the most in the last few years.

  • Valbuena 5º presents its splendor in each vintage and a direct view of the greatness of its soil, where 140 hectares of land are dedicated to this wine; weather conditions each year make a distinction on the vintage.

  • These wines are ready for drinking now but may potentially be stored for approximately 20 - 30 years if kept in optimum conditions (12-14 ºC) at 60% relative humidity, and constant temperature, protected from direct light. Optimum drinking temperature is 18 ºC. This wine is highly allocated and subject to availability.

    • Appellation: D.O. Ribera del Duero
    • Grapes: 95% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 5% Merlot
    • Aging period: 5 years between oak barrels and bottle aging
    • Oak: French and American oak and 20,000 liter vats
