Tasting Note

Alión 2022 is appealingly refined and floral. Tim Atkin describes a wine full of “subtle aromatic spices, bramble and summer berry flavours and a focused finish.” The palate is generous yet perfectly poised, defined by its fine-grained tannins and a bright, focused acidity that provides lift and length to the dark fruit core.

Product Notes

Embodying unparalleled elegance, Vega Sicilia Alión wine is a tantalising full-bodied Tempranillo. The wine originates from Spain's famed Ribera del Duero region, a milieu reputable for its harsh weather intensifying the taste of the grapes. Alión offers an inviting nose of ripe berries, hints of Oriental spices, and delicate undertones of toasted vanilla, a signature from its French oak maturation. The robust palate reveals sumptuous complexity, balancing velvety tannins with fruit richness, producing a long-lasting finish. This wine exhibits not only the vigour of youth but also the grace of maturity, making it highly sought after by discerning wine aficionados globally.
