Founded in 1864 by Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, Vega Sicilia is one of Spain's most iconic wineries. Trained in Bordeaux, Lecanda introduced French grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec to the Ribera del Duero region, alongside local Tempranillo. His ambition: to produce wines that rival the finest European vintages.

In the following decades, the estate passed through various hands, but it was under the leadership of Antonio Herrero, at the beginning of the 20th century, that Vega Sicilia acquired its legendary reputation with the creation of Unico, an exceptional blended wine, aged for many years in barrels and bottles, initially intended for an elite clientele and offered as a privilege rather than a bargain.

In 1982, a new era began with the acquisition of the estate by the Álvarez family, who modernized the facilities while preserving traditional methods. Under their leadership, Vega Sicilia developed and gave birth to other renowned vintages such as Valbuena 5º Año, Alión in Ribera del Duero, Pintia in the Toro appellation, and Macán in Rioja, in partnership with the Rothschild family.

The group also acquired an estate in Tokaj, Hungary, thus affirming its international vocation. Today, Vega Sicilia embodies Spanish winemaking excellence, combining tradition, innovation, and rigor, and its wines are among the most sought-after and rarest in the world.

This exceptional sale is a rare opportunity to win rare wines with perfect provenance!

Don't hesitate, the catalog is open for bidding!

It is a pleasure for me to introduce you this online “wine o'clock” auction #100 dedicated solely to Vega Sicilia. This sale will offer you the rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable collection of wines from our beloved winery.



The vast majority of the collection comes from the wine cellar of Ángel Renedo, a man whose life is deeply rooted within the history of Vega Sicilia.

The wines in this auction include some of the most prestigious vintages from the winery and have been carefully preserved under ideal storage conditions.



180 bottles are on offer, spanning vintages from 1925 to 1996, across the Unico, Valbuena No.5, and Valbuena No.3 appellations.

This auction is not only a celebration of great wine but also of history and provenance. Each and every lot represents an admirable opportunity to own bottles that tell a story of tradition and grant you with a deep personal connection to Spain’s most iconic winery.

Un monde s’ouvre, sans frontière ni passeport,
Un monde de flacons, d’ombres et de lumière,
Où chaque vin raconte un lieu, une mémoire,
Où chaque bouteille est une terre entière.

De Champagne montent les premières notes,
Effervescence d’orfèvre, éclat suspendu,
Naissance des instants, délicates anecdotes,
Éloge du temps dans un cristal tendu.

Les vieux Bordeaux, austères et racés,
Portent la noblesse de leurs millésimes mûrs.
Leurs robes profondes, leurs tanins apaisés,
Évoquent l’histoire en murmures purs.

En Bourgogne, le vin prend voix de poète :
Pinot fragile, chardonnay sincère.
Tout ici est nuance, silence et conquête,
Une quête du vrai sur un fil de lumière.

Le Rhône s’avance, solaire et imposant,
Son fruit est chaleur, sa structure, puissance.
Chaque gorgée porte le vent du levant,
Et la terre chante avec éloquence.

D’Italie viennent les chants envoûtants,
Du Piémont à la Toscane, parfums ardents.
Des vins façonnés avec grâce et patience,
Offrant aux palais une douce révérence.

Plus loin, les États-Unis tracent leur voie,
Dans les collines californiennes baignées d’or,
Des vins modernes, libres dans leur choix,
Mariant audace, équilibre et décor.

Enfin, au cœur des alcools de patience,
Les whiskies veillent, nobles sentinelles.
Distillés en silence, porteurs de science,
Ils livrent au monde une sagesse éternelle.

Atlas : Terroirs du Monde — c’est plus qu’une collection.
C’est un voyage à travers les cultures,
Un dialogue entre les climats et les passions,
Un hommage aux terres, aux hommes, à leur nature.
