    Description

    In this tasting of Vega Sicilia's 2017 and 2018 releases, James speaks with Gonzalo Iturriaga, the head winemaker at Macàn and Vega Sicilia, and Pablo Alvarez, the owner and CEO of Vega Sicilia. Gonzalo explains that 2017 was one of the more challenging vintages recently, due to the incredibly hot weather that they experienced in Toro, Spain, but that the 2018 vintage is "more elegantly balanced," which is why he favors the latter vintage.Check out the podcast to hear their opinions on the current winemaking trend in Spain and to learn more about Vega Sicilia's latest releases.

    This is the podcast of James Suckling, international wine critic with 40 years of experience tasting, critiquing and loving wine! We focus on the great wines of the world including Italy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Australia, New Zealand, California, Chile, and Argentina, but are always open to and looking for surprises. We taste and review thousands of wines each year - 25,000 in 2019 alone! - and meet hundreds of the world's best winemakers along that journey. That's where this podcast comes in - a place to access my conversations with these titans of the wine world, and also my own tasting team as we travel the world to taste amazing wines. I hope you enjoy these podcasts - head to jamessuckling.com for even more reports, videos and articles about how to enjoy wine.
