Bodegas Alión was formed in 1986 as a winery which would be run independently to its big brother, the great Vega Sicilia. Now, it stands as one of Spain (and the World's) greatest wines.Fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats, and the wine matured in new and second use French barriques for 12 to 14 months. It's quite ripe and powerful yet balanced and with great freshness.
