👁 In the Glass:
Deep purple-ruby with inky intensity—dense and alluring.

👃 On the Nose:
Expressive and layered. Violets, damson plum, and black cherry are wrapped in savoury notes of black olive, graphite, and finely toasted oak—floral, dark, and sophisticated.

👅 On the Palate:
Powerful yet poised. Ripe black fruit is framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Subtle oak spice and earthy undertones build toward an impressively long, structured finish with depth and finesse.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with dry-aged beef, grilled lamb, wild mushroom dishes, or Iberico pork. A wine made for rich, flavourful cuisine and memorable occasions.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Approachable in youth with decanting, yet will evolve beautifully over 12–15+ years, gaining complexity and grace.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Alión is the modern face of Ribera del Duero from the legendary Vega Sicilia estate—where exuberant fruit meets age-worthy restraint. A wine of intensity, balance, and unmistakable pedigree.
