產品介紹
若提到最頂級的西班牙國寶級酒廠,當屬維嘉西西里亞酒廠。故事的起源要回到 1848年,Toribio Lecanda買下了約800公頃的土地,開啟了維嘉西西里亞的傳奇。園區早期主要的經營重心在於畜牧、穀物、果樹種植與陶器製作等,直到 1864 年由Toribio 的兒子 DonEloy Lecanda y Chaves 接手經營後,才開始耙地、種植。Eloy 不僅僅栽種本地的格
那希(Grenache) 與田帕尼歐 (Tempranillo) 品種,更從法國購買了 18,000 株葡萄,包含卡本內蘇維濃(Cabernet Sauvignon)、梅洛(Merlot)、馬爾貝克(Melbec)、甚至黑皮諾(Pinot Noir) 品種。
1915 年,酒廠正式以維嘉西西里亞酒廠的名義推出5款葡萄酒:UNICO 紅酒、無年份的 UNICO
RESERVA ESPECIAL、UNICO 白酒 (1947 年起停產)、VALBUENA 5°以及 VALBUENA 3°(最後生產年份為1987)。1929 年在巴塞隆納世界博覽會 (Exposicion Universal de Barcelona) 中,維嘉西西里亞酒廠的旗艦酒款 UNICO 以 1917 與 1918 兩個年份贏得榮譽大獎,打響了酒廠的知名度。

The Único released in 2021, 10 years after the harvest, is the 2011 Único, selected from 40 of their 210 hectares of vineyards. 2011 is a concentrated and ripe vintage, and they selected 95% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that were cooled in a cold room for 24 hours before being sorted; the bunches and grapes macerated at 9 to 10 degrees Celsius for three to four days, and then it was inoculated with a pied de cuve to ferment with pumping overs. Malolactic was in stainless steel, and the wine was put through a long aging, 10 years between oak and bottle, using new and used French and American oak barrels and 20,000-liter oak vats. For Vega Sicilia, 2011 was a fresher year than 2010, not the common idea about those vintages in Ribera del Duero. The wine has a developed nose with some notes of ripe black fruit, meat and underbrush, somewhat herbal and perfumed. There is something about the nose of the Únicos that I cannot quite describe but is quite distinct, and it’s in this vintage and also in the Reserva Especial. 88,288 bottles, 3,505 magnums, 318 double magnums, 60 Imperial and 3 Salmanazar were produced. The wine was bottled in June 2017.
