Vega Sicilia Alion, Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León Reserva 1992

The sister winery of Vega Sicilia, Alión, whose name refers to the area of León where the patriarch of the Álvarez family was born, is located just 15 kilometers from the headquarters, between the River Duero and the Valladolid to Soria highway, near to Ribera's winemaking capital, Peñafiel. Alión has a total of 130 hectares of land divided into three large blocks. On the one hand, there are 70 hectares located on the Vega Sicilia estate itself; secondly, there are a further 30 hectares in the Padilla de Duero municipality; and a third block of 30 hectares is in the nearby town of Pesquera de Duero. 

Ageing of between 14 and 20 months, depending on the characteristics of the vintage, is performed in full in new French oak Bordeaux barrels followed by a minimum of 15 months in bottle. 

1992 was the last vintage produced at the Vega Sicilia winery before production moved to the purpose built Alion winery in Padilla de Duero the following year and recived a 90/100 from Wine Spectator and a 17.5/20 form Jancis Robinson (MW)
