Tempos Vega Sicilia Valbuena Bordelesa 2019
KShs39,840 incl. of VAT
Deep, vibrant ruby in colour, the nose reveals layers of blackberries, plums, red currants, cedar, tobacco, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is rich yet elegant, with velvety tannins, fresh acidity, and flavours of dark cherries, cocoa, leather, and mineral undertones. The finish is long, balanced, and remarkably polished, leaving a lasting impression of depth and sophistication.
Valbuena 2019 is a versatile partner to refined dishes, from slow-roasted lamb with herbs to grilled beef tenderloin. It pairs beautifully with game such as venison or quail and enhances the earthy richness of mushroom risotto or charred seasonal vegetables. A selection of aged Spanish cheeses, particularly Manchego completes a perfect pairing experience.
Why You’ll Love It
Valbuena is often described as the “perfect bridge” between approachable luxury and serious collectibility. With its signature balance of ripe fruit, refined oak influence, and structured tannins, it’s a wine that delights now and continues to evolve beautifully over decades. Limited production and the Vega Sicilia name make it a coveted choice for cellars and fine dining alike.
Description
The Tempos Vega Sicilia Valbuena Bordelesa 2019 is a stunning example of Ribera del Duero at its finest, crafted by Spain’s most iconic winery, Vega Sicilia. As the younger sibling of the legendary Único, Valbuena offers a more accessible yet still profound expression of the estate’s philosophy of meticulous craftsmanship and long ageing.
Made exclusively from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), Valbuena is aged for five years — a combination of oak barrel and bottle maturation — to achieve perfect harmony and depth. The 2019 vintage reflects an ideal growing season and showcases remarkable balance, concentration, and finesse, making it one of the most highly regarded Valbuena releases to date.
