Alion, first produced in 1991, is made entirely from Tempranillo (Tinto Fino), primarily from the Ribera del Duero region. It represents a more modern style for Vega Sicilia, but it is produced within the same philosophy of quality and terroir as their other wines.

The 2007 Vega Sicilia Alion stands out with its power and elegance, a prime expression of Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. The nose is a complex blend of ripe blackberries, cassis, and earthy notes, with undertones of tobacco and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is rich and layered, showing well-integrated oak and soft tannins. Flavours of dark fruit, cocoa, and spice evolve on the mid-palate, with a smooth, lengthy finish. This vintage strikes a balance between freshness and depth, demonstrating the finesse Vega Sicilia is known for.

Spain's 'First Growth'

Located in Ribera del Duero, Vega Sicilia was founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, who established the vineyards with cuttings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec taken from the vineyards of Bordeaux. The estate planted Tempranillo alongside these Bordelais varietals, which now makes up the majority of the modern Vega Sicilia blend.

The flagship wines are Unico and Unico Reserva Especial - the former is aged for 10 years before release while the latter is a blend of only the finest vintages. Valbuena 5 is the estate's 'entry level' wine, a five year aged Tempranillo. Alongside Vega Sicilia, the same team also manage Bodegas Alion in Ribera del Duero and Bodegas Pintia in Toro.
