Considered as the First Growth of Spain, Vega-Sicilia was founded in 1864. It captures the essence of exceptional soil and high-quality varieties that have made it the flagship of the Ribera del Duero region. Only a chosen few enjoy a name that endures over time and becomes a phenomenon with legendary associations. Vega Sicilia has managed it, not as a winery that produces wines, but as a synonym for prestige (mystery, inaccessibility or it could be called a legend).

Vega-Sicilia wines are rare and limited with an anonymous waiting list of privileged "subscribers" never exceeding 4,000. As with nearly all great wines, over time Vega-Sicilia has received tributes from well-known figures who publicly proclaim their adoration for the Ribera del Duero label. Such was the case of the famous statesman and gourmand Sir Winston Churchill, who regularly received his corresponding ratio of bottles.
