Bodegas y Viñedos Alion Ribera del Duero 2015

The Alión Ribera del Duero is a striking expression of modern craftsmanship from the iconic Álvarez family of Vega Sicilia. Located just 15 kilometers from the Vega Sicilia estate, Alión was conceived not as a junior partner, but as a wine with its own bold identity—one that fully reflects the power and elegance of Ribera’s terroir.

Crafted from the estate’s finest plots and aged 12 months in French (and 5% American) oak, 80% of it new, Alión reveals remarkable depth and refinement. The wine opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and violets, supported by subtle spice and cedar tones. On the palate, it’s structured and complex, yet supple and harmonious after time in bottle, showcasing both the precision of its winemaking and the enduring character of Ribera del Duero.
