Vega Tinto

Description

According to its age, the wines may show signs of time, such as dust on the bottles and/or damage to the labels, a common occurrence in wines that have been stored for decades. The National Wine Cellar stores all wines at the proper temperature and humidity, but it also chooses to preserve the visual characteristics that come with their age. We typically select brands and regions that perform well in old‑wine competitions. However, wine is a living organism that, like all living things, is exposed to time, and even inside a bottle its aromas evolve. Therefore the National Wine Cellar cannot be held responsible for the wine’s quality, as it is an aged wine. Our recommendation is to open the bottle and let it breathe first, which will help release the wine’s natural aromas after so many years closed. Avoid decanting; it can be too aggressive for old wines. (Illustrative image only)
