De nieuwe Alion 2017 is gearriveerd!

Onze nieuwe topper van Vega Sicilia is binnengekomen! En aan de 2017 dient u niet te twijfelen. Dit was immers in Ribera del Duero hét jaar
van de wijnmaker. Wel veel minder flessen dan andere jaren, dus onze allocatie is flink kleiner dan vorig jaar.
2017 is een heel evenwichtig jaar met minder nieuwe eik in de vinificatie. Een klassieke Alion die lang gaat kunnen ouderen!
Zoals steeds zijn de grote formaten erg beperkt, aarzel dus niet om uw bestelling via de website hieronder vast te leggen. Voor de
liefhebbers van grote Tempranillo met veel verouderingspotentieel.

Alion 2017: 94/100
100% Tempranillo

The 2017 Alión, the only wine produced here, comes from a challenging year marked by spring frost and a warm and dry end of
the season, so they reduced the amount of new oak by 8%. It fermented with indigenous yeasts, and 10% of the volume aged in
concrete, completely unoaked. The change in the oak regimen helped with the style of the vintage, which was marked by the frost
that hit part of the Alión vineyards. Furthermore, the end of the season was warm and dry, and they had to work to control ripeness
and power and perhaps the possibility of more aggressive tannins. It's a classical Alión, with some developed aromas, juicy and round
but not heavy, with just a tad of earthy rusticity. With time, it develops more balsamic notes and hints of licorice. A handful of bigger
sizes were produced. It was bottled in June 2019.They never stop at Alión and keep renovating their cellar and winery to achieve
more precision in their fermentations and using more concrete for the aging of the wines. They have 130 hectares of vineyards
in the villages of Padilla de Duero, Pesquera and Valbuena de Duero.

Pintia 2015: 94/100
100% Tinta de Toro

The only wine produced here is the 2015 Pintia, which, in the warm and dry 2015, reaches 15% alcohol and has moderate acidity and a creamy,
soft texture, with plenty of concentration, ripeness and tannins. It fermented in oak vats and matured in oak barrels (new and used, French and
American) for 12 months. It was a powerful vintage, and they did part of the malolactic fermentation in oak vats instead of 100% in barrique to
keep some of the freshness, and they also have 15,000 liters of wine that can mature in stainless steel and rotate some lots in vat before they are
put in barrique. All this goes in the direction of keeping the freshness of the wine in a zone where power comes naturally, and all the tools are
welcomed, including the use of different toast in the barrels. All this seems to have paid off, and even if the wine is powerful and tannic, it has good
balance and the tannins are fine-grained. This has reached a good balance between power and elegance. It was bottled in May 2017.
They renewed the facilities at Pintia in 2018 to vinify with more precision with smaller vats. They work 98 hectares of vineyards.
