Vega Sicilia is Spain’s most famous wine and competes with the greatest wines of France and Italy for pride of place in the Parthenon of the greatest wines in the world and is a must for collectors. Vega Sicilia is the most dialectical wine in the world, synthesising old and new, tradition and innovation. This fusion is possible through combining old vines, terroir and tradition with modern technology and international grape varieties. No other winery ages their wines quite like Vega Sicilia and few can match their vine age or terroir.

Modern Toro is all about sophisticated tannins, ripe fruit, and a distinct cut of acidity that balances out the inevitable concentration that flows from this hot climate. As ever, significant investment and better viticultural management was the key to unlocking Toro’s potential: some of the industry’s world’s most renowned winemakers, including LVMH, Vega Sicilia, and Michel Rolland, have set up shop in Castilla y Leon. Their expertise has been put to good use, swapping rusticity for a powerful but balanced style of wine imbued with depth and structure. Today, Toro has become a serious rival to the more famous reds of Ribera del Duero.
