ALIÓN

2020

DESCRIPTION

Belonging to the Ribera del Duero DO, Alión is grown at barely fifteen kilometers from the Vega Sicilia estate.

In Alión, a careful selection was made of terroirs spread across the best areas of the appellation of origin (DO). Using the parent company's viticulture, firmly-structured wines were produced from these mutually complementing plots.

Possessing great personality, Alión is matured for 12-14 months in new French oak barrels so as to obtain the wine which is the most universally popular of the family. Indeed, it settles in the bottle to ensure a perfect wine experience.

Alión is an intense, complex and fleshy wine, where elegance acts as the differentiating element and the winery's seal of identity.

Genuine character, modern and multicultural. They are elegant wines, fresh, complex and subtle; perfect for pairing.

2013 VINEYARD CYCLE

Although budding of the vine was slightly early, temperatures in spring were lower than usual causing a minor delay in the cycle. Summer was normal in terms of temperature, though September was relatively cold, with storms at the beginning of the month and showers towards the second half, which lead to a meticulous harvest bringing out a more complex 2013. This is a vintage for vine-growers, where the impeccable work in the vineyard is perfectly reflected in the quality of the wine.
