Alion, Ribera del Duero Vintage:2021 ApproachableAlin is the modern wine of Vega Sicilia, Spain's most revered estate. Where the legendary Unico is aged for the best part of a decade before release, Alin was conceived in the early 1990s to do something different: to show pure Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Tinto Fino, as it's known here in a fresher, more direct style, closer in spirit to a modern Bordeaux estate than to old Spain. It is 100% Tinto Fino, drawn from selected high altitude parcels
