Alión 2022
Vintage Character
The 2022 Ribera del Duero DO Alion showcases the exceptional resilience of the estate's terroir during a warm and dry growing season. This hot vintage led to early ripening, producing grapes with intense concentration, robust structures, and excellent phenolic maturity that benefit from decanting. Sourced from prime vineyards along the Duero River in Castilla y León, the vines thrive on alluvial soils rich in clay and limestone, which impart power and mineral elegance to the Tinto Fino grapes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, the wine reveals intense aromas of ripe black plums, wild blackberries, and roasted cocoa beans, beautifully framed by nuances of sweet spices and well-integrated French oak. The palate exhibits a full-bodied texture with velvety, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant line of acidity that leads to a long, expressive finish. Pair this structured red wine with roasted rack of lamb, slow-braised beef short ribs, or roasted Beijing duck.
Winery Background
Established in 1991 by the Álvarez family of the legendary Tempos Vega Sicilia group, Bodegas y Viñedos Alión was conceived to craft a modern, independent expression of the region. The estate employs rigorous hand-harvesting and meticulous plot-by-plot selection across its vineyards. Vinification occurs in temperature-controlled oak vats, followed by careful aging in fine-grain French oak barrels and concrete eggs to preserve fruit purity, establishing this wine as a benchmark for modern Spanish reds.
