Vega Sicilia is unquestionably a unique wine, and one of
the great Spanish classics. Its personality not only comes
from the maximum quality of the grape and the rigour
involved in its manufacture, but also, and above all, from
the care for detail that the Álvarez family has succeeded in
transmitting to the wines.
From a universal perspective, the peculiar characteristics
of Vega Sicilia define it as a very Spanish wine and, in fact,
it is one of the national wines that receives respect at the
mention of its name.
This book is a celebration of the winery?s 150th
anniversary, making it one of the oldest not only in Spain,
but throughout Europe.
Designed in the style of an artist?s book, this publication
shows very personal views of the winery and its wines
through the eyes of three artists: Gautier Deblonde, Johnnie
Shand Kydd and Ricca Kawai Kalderon. Their contribution
is to give life and colour to the words of Harry Eyres
(Financial Times) and Serena Sutcliffe (Sotheby?s).
