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

Vega Sicilia Alion is an opulent Spanish red wine hailing from Ribera del Duero, Spain's acclaimed wine province. It's crafted with 100% Tempranillo grapes, the quintessential varietal of the region. On the palate, it offers a rich medley of dark fruit, expressive oak, and smooth tannins. Demonstrating profound depths of flavour, with indulgent layers of cherry, toffee and aromatic herbs, it has a persistent, warming finish. This elegant, full-bodied wine is an exceptional companion for hearty meat dishes. A single sip of Vega Sicilia Alion reveals why it is recognised amongst Spain's most distinguished and cherished wines.
