Alión 2019 – Tempos Vega Sicilia

95 James Suckling , 94 Parker / Wine Advocate

Alión 2019 is a powerful, concentrated and sensual Ribera del Duero, displaying intense aromas of ripe black plum, black cherry and dark berries alongside violet, graphite, balsamic notes, coffee, cocoa and subtle spices.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich and juicy, with impressive concentration and firm yet beautifully polished, velvety tannins. Despite the power of the warm and dry 2019 vintage, the wine retains freshness and precision, with layers of ripe dark fruit, mineral notes and finely integrated oak leading into a very long, focused and elegant finish.

Made from 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) from vineyards averaging 39 years of age in Padilla de Duero, Valbuena de Duero and Pesquera de Duero, Alión 2019 combines the depth and structure of Ribera del Duero with the refinement characteristic of the Vega Sicilia family.

Description

Alión
Elegance and modernity—
a worthy member of the Vega Sicilia family

In 1992, the Álvarez family decided to launch a new project in the Ribera del Duero DO. Not to replicate the style of Vega Sicilia, but to demonstrate that the same terroir could also be interpreted from a more contemporary perspective. Thus Alión was born—a wine with its own identity that, more than three decades later, has become one of the region’s leading names.

Its grapes come from selected plots and are harvested by hand to ensure they arrive at the winery intact. There, a rigorous selection process is followed by fermentation in wooden tanks and aging in new French oak barrels—one of Alión’s hallmarks. Afterward, time in the bottle allows the fruit, structure, and oak to fully integrate.

The 2022 vintage offers a deep and elegant expression, marked by ripe blackberries, graphite, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is round and creamy, with polished tannins and a silky texture that balances the ripeness and power characteristic of a warm, dry year.

Alión 2022 is now available again in our store, and to celebrate, you’ll find it at a special price.

We don’t want anyone to miss out on it!
