Valbuena is the purest expression of red wine from Vega Sicilia. It is aged for five years between barrel and bottle, which gives the final product its name: Valbuena 5º.
The first year of aging is in barrels and is particularly important, with 75% French oak and 25% American oak.
In this first step, the objective is to build the wine, by working on its structure, its sense of sweetness and its density. The second year of aging takes place in large wooden vats and, at this stage, it gains in elegance, complexity, tension and subtlety.
The Valbuena 5º 2016 is the perfect balance between elegance, complexity and concentration. Pure harmony.
This wine can be drunk now, but it can be stored for 30 years under optimal conditions: 12-14 ° C and 60% relative humidity.
The recommended serving temperature is 18 ° C.
182 bottles of Bordeaux, 882 Magnum, 6 Double Magnum, 030 Imperial and 411 Salmanazar.
