El Único 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 round alcohol content. It has an intense ripe cherry color, with the liveliness of a wine that is always in full bloom. The aroma is dominated by the toasted touches of the wood, with the hazelnut notes of its oxidative evolution during its years in barrel. 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 tasting, full-bodied wine. 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 Grand Prize of Honor at the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition.
