Vega Sicilia Alión 2021 Ribera del Duero - Magnum (1,5L)
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.

'Veel méér dan een tweede wijn'
In tegenstelling tot Vega Sicilia, waar voornamelijk op traditionele wijze in de kelder wordt gewerkt, komt Alión tot stand met behulp van ultra moderne vinificatietechnieken. Bordeauxliefhebbers opgelet: de Alión lijkt qua stijl meer op een Grand Cru uit de Bordeaux: geconcentreerd, elegant, zuiver verfijnd en zachter van structuur. Een moderne uitdrukking van Ribera del Duero die recentelijk 96/100 Parkerpunten ontving.

The vintage released in 2025 is the 2021 Alión, a year to remember, one of the best in recent times; it was relaxed and textbook in all senses, with snow in the beginning of the year, a mild spring disturbed only by frost in Pesquera that didn't affect other villages, a relatively cool summer that slowed things down, and the grapes ripened to perfection without rain after September. They used grapes from 13 different villages throughout the Ribera del Duero, 130 hectares. The grapes are cooled down for 24 hours, and once destemmed, they are put in the oak and stainless steel vats, where they undergo a five-day cold soak and then native fermentation through a "pied de cuve." It has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.81 and 4.8 grams of acidity (tartaric). It's very fresh and fruit-driven, with the balance and elegance of the cooler years, a little austere, with very elegant and polished tannins and a different quality, when the grapes ripen slowly. They believe 2024 has the potential to be like 2021, after the 2022 and 2023 vintages were a lot more challenging. This is a large production of 244,244 bottles, 7,075 magnums and some larger formats. It was bottled in June 2023.

A pretty deep but fresh and harmonious wine that can be consumed early. It’s from a blend of Ribera del Duero vineyards. Fascinating aromas of fine spices, dark chocolate, dark cherries, blackberries and cedar wood. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins and a lasting finish. Impeccable balance. A textbook Ribera del Duero that gives a panoramic view of the region. Drink from 2025.

Very fine Alión, with less oak than usual and a profile of depth and subtlety. On the palate, sapidity, a touch of salinity, and fully integrated and smooth tannins. I love the way the oak is integrated, with much more subtlety than previous Alións. Fluidity, chalky texture, and lots of finesse on the palate. A touch of violet on the back palate and still very primary. One of the best Alións I can remember.
