The three wines produced on the estate, Unico, Unico Reserva Especial and Valbuena 5º, are more than standard-bearers for their appellation. They have long occupied the very top tier of Spanish fine wine, and remain among the most recognised and sought-after wines in the world. Following Vega Sicilia’s acquisition by the Álvarez family in 1982, the company established several new bodegas, each of which has become a benchmark for quality in its own right. Alión, also in Ribera del Duero, was followed by Pintia in Toro, and Macán, a joint venture with Edmond de Rothschild in Rioja. The family were also quick to invest in Tokaj following the end of communism, founding Oremus there in 1993.
