Oremus Dry Tokaji Mandolás 2016
“Fragrant, with lime blossom and spice accents, this vibrant white is light- to medium-bodied and lithe, featuring a pretty mix of Honeycrisp apple and lemon meringue flavors. Offers a sleek, lingering finish.”

Benjamin de Rothschild / Vega-Sicilia Rioja Macán Clásico 2014
"Macán Clásico is a wine deeply attached to its territory. Freshness, fruitiness and delicacy are its signs of identity. It is produced in stainless steel casks; part of its malolactic fermentation in oak; new oak and single use barrel ageing for 12 to 14 months determined only by the characteristics of the vintage. It is balanced in bottle for over 18 months." Vega-Sicilia.com
Benjamin de Rothschild / Vega-Sicilia Rioja Macán 2013
“The youthful-looking 2013 Macán is pure Tempranillo sourced from a myriad of plots of old vines from the 90 hectares of vineyards they own mostly in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. It fermented in oak vats, with 20% of the volume going through malolactic in barrique and an élevage of 14 months exclusively in French oak barrels. The two wines from 2013 share a common characteristic, which is better integrated oak and a subtler mouthfeel. Other than that, the ripeness of the grapes also seemed more moderate, which has resulted in fresher, more elegant wines. Here there is a mixture of red and black fruit, and some notes of dark spices. The palate shows very polished tannins and good balance, more serious than the Clásico. Yields were lower and they also had to sort and select grapes, so quantities are lower at 52,000 bottles in the case of this Macán.”

Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Alión 2014
"Alión is intense, complex, full-bodied, where elegance plays a differentiating role being the winery´s sign of identity. Its modern, genuine and multicultural character makes it easy to pair." Vega-Sicilia.com
Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Alión 2013
"The careful selection of the grapes and the work directives even for the purchased grapes has clearly paid off in the 2013 Alión, which has great freshness and perfume. It was cropped from a relatively normal growing season, but with a cold September with some rains that provoked a slight delay in the picking and especially the seed for a severe sorting of the grapes... It might be a lighter vintage for Alión, but one that has a subtler profile and harmony. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, with a thread of acidity going through its core and lifting it up. An elegant Alión."

Vega-Sicilia Toro Pintia 2013
"Pintia 2013 is a wine of great colour intensity and profound layers. It has a frank and expressive nose and intense fruity aroma mixed with a subtle woodiness. This vintage offers a very noticeable structure and personality. It is remarkably fresh, energetic, elegant, with a long journey ahead of it."

Vega-Sicilia Único 2006
“Incredibly floral and beautiful with dark berry, spice, cedar and mint. Chinese plums. Asian spices. Bark. Tea. Full body, dense and so soft and complex. The finish goes on for minutes. Endless and fine. January 2018 release. This reminds me of the gorgeous 1991 or 1964. Drink forever. A wine that you want to spend time with.”

Vega-Sicilia Único 2005
"Saturated ruby. Explosively perfumed aromas of fresh ripe red fruits, floral oils, pipe tobacco and incense take on sexy vanilla and woodsmoke nuances as the wine opens up. Densely packed yet shockingly lithe on the palate, offering intense cherry liqueur, red currant and spicecake flavors given spine by a core of juicy acidity. Shows superb energy and clarity, finishing sweet, smoky and extremely long; velvety tannins add gentle grip." 97 Josh Reynolds, Vinous.com
Vega-Sicilia Único Reserva Especial R18

An extremely special and rare offering. Vega-Sicilia.com
Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest 2015
Oremus Late Harvest perfectly balances the Furmint, Hárslevelű, Zéta and Sárga Muskotály grapes to produce an elegant and rich wine. Roughly half of the grapes used are Aszú noble berries, experiencing a large degree of noble rot. This, couple with a long and slow fermentation followed by barrel aging creates this nuanced, persistent wine. |
