Alión 2020

An elegant wine with all the quality assurance one might expect from Vega Sicilia. Highly-regarded in its own right, this was never intended to be their second wine, as was proved when the very first vintage in 1995 won a place in the Wine Spectactor's list of 100 best wines for that year. Produced from 100% Tinto Fino (Ribera's Tempranillo) grapes, the Alión Reserva is a modern-style wine with traditional roots. The Vega Sicilia approach to meticulous care over details ensures high quality standards throughout all wine-making processes, under the auspices of company oenologist Xavier Ausás. Particular consideration is paid to the ageing process which lasts for up to 18 months in new French oak casks and almost the same length of time spent resting in bottle. These periods are regarded as essential for blending and harmonizing the fruit and wood, so that the finest aromas and flavours ensue and create a wine of exceptional elegance. Deeply-coloured and firmly-structured, from grapes ripened to perfection in the vineyard, it reveals the characteristics of its terroir and maintains the winery’s long-standing commitment to the production of premier quality wines.
