Vega Sicilia Alion Ribera Del Duero 2019

Alión comes from carefully selected terroirs located in the very best areas of the Ribera del Duero DO region. The soils complement each other, and allied with the same winemaking process used in Vega Sicilia, they have produced wines with a firm structure.

2019 was a drier vintage than normal. This was noted during the grape tasting, where we encountered concentrated skins with a very firm structure. Work essentially started with extraction to develop a vintage for which we reduced total vatting for fermentation to around 11 days. The unusual batch was fined before being put into barrel.  The winemaker felt reducing the impact of the wood and the toast as important for this type of vintage. Adding concrete helped them to work on the verticality and freshness of the wines. The result is that 2019 ended up as a potent, concentrated, juicy vintage, with a with a sensual and rich mouthfeel.
