We are absolutely thrilled to secure an allocation of the 2021 Alion, offering a rare and exciting opportunity to experience the breathtaking provenance of the legendary Bodegas Vega Sicilia family. Made from carefully selected Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), this exceptional vintage is aged in premium French and American oak to create a highly polished, modern profile. It opens with a seductive nose of ripe blackberry, dark cherry and roasted espresso. On the palate, it delivers a deeply concentrated core of dark fruit, framed by fine, velvety tannins and a vibrant line of acidity that carries through to a remarkably long and powerful finish.

Why do we love this wine?
Born from the visionary minds at Spain's most prestigious estate, Alion was established in 1991 to showcase a more contemporary, fruit-driven side of Ribera del Duero. The vineyards sit on complex soils of gravel, clay and limestone, enduring an intense continental climate with scorching days and freezing nights. This extreme weather ensures the grapes develop thick skins and profound flavour concentration while retaining crucial natural freshness. By combining this world-class terroir with exacting, state-of-the-art winemaking, the team has crafted a benchmark wine that consistently defines modern Spanish excellence.
