Bodegas Vega Sicilia

Bodegas Vega Sicilia is Spain’s most legendary estate and is located in Ribera del Duero in Castilla y León.

It was founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, who was the first to bring French grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to Spain and plant them alongside the local Tinto Fino (Tempranillo).

By the beginning of the 20th century, the estate had already achieved international recognition under the Herrero family.

A decisive turning point came in 1982, when the Álvarez family took over the estate – the same year in which Ribera del Duero received DO status. Since then, the family has continued to lead the estate with a strong commitment to quality and international success.

The continental climate, with hot days and cool nights, creates intense aromas and a distinctive structure. Tradition and modern winemaking go hand in hand and shape the region’s unmistakable style.
