Vega Sicilia's Reserva Especials are wines that do not carry vintages, being blends of different Únicos rested for at least 10 years. "The Reserva Especial is the wine with the most personality, it combines the complexity of the Único by multiplying it by several vintages and offers an immense aromatic range, pure elegance in an eternal flow through the magic of a myth. Only the best Únicos are used to produce Reserva Especial, a blend of years, virtues, experiences and feelings that do nothing but outline the deepest essence of a unique and unrepeatable style, the Vega Sicilia style", says the winery.

The Unico is Vega Sicilia's reference wine, although it shares with the rest of the winery's wines its special sparkle. It comes from the oldest vines of the property and in its composition, in addition to tempranillo, there is more cabernet sauvignon than merlot. Although it is old, the red maintains a liveliness provided by its good acidity, compensated by a resounding alcohol content. It has an intense ripe cherry color, with the lively edge of a wine that is always in fullness. The aroma is dominated by the toasted touches of the wood, with hazelnut notes from its oxidative evolution during its years in barrels. It has ample flavors of aged but clean wood, with dry and pleasantly bitter tannins from the oak, along with a touch of light sweetness from its alcohol. It is a very long flavored wine, with race. This winery has won the following awards: Gold Medal and Grand Diploma of Honor at the 1927 Madrid Christmas Fair and the 1927 Barcelona Hotel Exhibition, and the Grand Prize of Honor at the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition.
