Vega Sicilia Alión 2019 Ribera del Duero DO
In 1992 nam de familie Alvarez, eigenaren van Vega Sicilia, het naastgelegen Alión over. In eerste instantie was het de bedoeling om hier een ‘tweede wijn’ te gaan maken, maar de familie kwam er al vrij snel achter dat Alión veel méér dan een tweede wijn was en dat zij opnieuw goud in handen hadden.

"Een Ribera del Duero van wereldklasse"

Ripe, tarry plums and black cherries with violets, rocks, coffee and graphite. Refined notes of balsamic fruit and cocoa powder, too. Full-bodied and juicy with an iron fist of tannins, yet at the same time so velvety and polished. Very long, focused finish, showing lots of finesse and layers. Drinkable now, but better after 2025.

The 2019 Alión was cropped from a drier vintage compared with the average, and the wines from that year tend to be powerful, concentrated and with structure. They shortened the maceration by 11 days and used concrete for part of the élevage, trying to reduce the impact from the oak in the wine. They define 2019 as a powerful, concentrated and juicy vintage, sensual and unctuous. The wine is ripe at 15% alcohol and has mellow acidity (4.4 grams) and a pH of 3.88, reflecting the warm and dry year that delivered powerful and concentrated wines, similar to the wines from 2015. It's quite fruit-driven, ripe and juicy, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins despite the limited pumping over they did to avoid extracting too much, and the maceration was also shortened.
