The 2020 vintage of Alión from the legendary Bodegas Vega Sicilia is once again a phenomenal feast for the senses. The Spanish cult red wine has once again received top marks from international wine critics (e.g. 94 points in the Wine Advocate, 95 points from James Suckling). And what can we say: anyone lucky enough to open a bottle of Vega Sicilia Alión will quickly join in the praise.

The bouquet of the pure Tempranillo (or Tinto Fino, as the grape variety is usually called in the Ribera del Duero region) is irresistibly captivating. Complex, intense notes of blackberries, blueberries, cherries and pomegranate in a wonderful interplay with notes of cocoa and vanilla. Nuances of violets and a subtle minerality round off the bouquet. Suckling comments on the bouquet of the Alión 2020: "Ripe, dark plums and black cherries with violets, stone, coffee and graphite. Also fine notes of balsamic fruit and cocoa powder."

On the palate, this outstanding creation from Vega Sicilia is dry and at the same time intensely fruity, with masterfully integrated, dense tannins. Suckling finds these idiosyncratic words: "Full-bodied and juicy with an iron fist of tannins, yet so velvety and polished. Very long, concentrated finish that shows a lot of finesse and layers." Aromas of dates, wild berries and honey complete the taste experience, which lingers for an impressively long time.

The impenetrable purple-red wine comes from vines that are almost 40 years old. The Spanish red wine was matured in barriques for around 15 months. Bodegas y Viñedos Alión itself recommends enjoying the Tempranillo at a drinking temperature of 18 degrees. It is a fantastic accompaniment to high-quality beef or lamb. Also ideal with game dishes. Bottled in May 2022, the Alión 2020 has a cellaring potential of up to 20 years.

Vega Sicilia Macán Clásico Rioja DOC 2020
Vega Sicilia Macán Clásico Rioja DOC 2020
The Macán Clásico is a joint venture between the Rothschild and Álvarez families that, since 2009, has been interpreting the diversity and terroir of Rioja in a distinctive style. For the 2020 vintage, in addition to Tempranillo, small amounts of Garnacha and Graciano from selected plots were included for the first time to further enhance the wine’s complexity and freshness. The grapes come from vines averaging 40 years old, grown in the premier vineyards of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida, Ábalos, Navaridas, and Elvillar at an elevation of approximately 500 meters. The grapes are hand-harvested into 12-kg crates and carefully selected. Aging takes place over 16 months in barriques and large oak barrels. The wine then matures for an additional 28 months in the bottle, during which time it develops its characteristic balance, elegance, and complexity.On the nose, the Macán Clásico is powerful yet refined, with a multi-layered bouquet. On the palate, it harmoniously combines richness and elegance. Its balanced structure, precise fruit, and fine tannins lend it depth, while the vintage’s freshness and the Graciano component provide additional vibrancy and a long, balanced finish.This Rioja pairs excellently with braised lamb, beef tenderloin, game dishes, and aged Manchego. Thanks to its structure and aging potential, it also makes an outstanding accompaniment to festive meals and special occasions.

Aalto PS
Aalto PS
How do you make an excellent wine even better? For Mariano García Fernández, the founder of the Bodega Aalto estate, this can be achieved only by selecting the best grapes. The selection of the grapes was carried out parcel by parcel. This explains the wine’s ‘PS’ designation, which stands for ‘parcel’ and ‘selection’. Only the grapes from the best parcels with the oldest vines are selected to produce the Aalto PS. The grapes for this pure varietal Tempranillo come partly from vines that are more than 60 years old. The vines grow on soils with lime and slate subsoils, giving the wine a lovely mineral freshness. The wine is aged in steel tanks before it matures for 21 months in new French barriques. Subsequently, the wine is aged for another 6 months in used casks. The Aalto PS is a dark, dense purple in colour. Its bouquet is characterised by strong notes of wood and flavours of plums and black cherries. On the palate, the wine is extremely complex, concentrated and powerful. The body continues unabated in a never-ending finish. Although the wine is already quite balanced, further ageing in the bottle will certainly enhance its quality. Serve the Aalto PS with lamb, game or tangy cheeses. This wine is a genuine delight! It is also available in a magnum bottle.

Paradiso 1954 Primitivo IGP Puglia
Paradiso 1954 Primitivo IGP Puglia
Betont auffällig sehen Sie die Jahreszahl 1954 auf dem Etikett des Paradiso 1954 Primitivo IGP Puglia stehen. 1954 ist das Gründungsjahr des Weingutes Paradiso. Gelegen in der süditalienischen Region Apulien, die auf der Landkarte den Absatz des Stiefels formt, finden wir das Gut. Geleitet vom Enkel des Gründers präsentiert uns die Winzerfamilie einen paradiesischen Primitivo.Böden und Klima bilden das perfekte Terroir für die Reben. Geerntet wird in der letzten Augustwoche, wenn die Trauben voll gereift und sehr aromatisch sind. Nach dem Entrappen folgt eine sanfte Zerkleinerung und eine 15-20-tägige Mazeration mit Gärung in Edelstahlbehältern bei kontrollierter Temperatur. Anschließend wird die Maische ausgepresst. Der daraus resultierende Wein reift zwei Monate in Edelstahltanks und danach 12 weitere Monate in Barriques, anschließend kehrt der Rotwein für drei Monate in Edelstahltanks zurück. Hiernach wird der Primitivo abgefüllt und reift vor seiner Freigabe weitere vier Monate in der Flasche.Der Paradiso 1954 Primitivo IGP Puglia ist ein Fest für das Auge und hat eine undurchdringliche rubinrote Farbe mit granatroten Reflexen. In der Nase sehr intensiv und komplex, kennzeichnen rote Früchte, getrocknete Pflaumen, Marasca und Myrte das Aroma. Das Bouquet ist herrlich blumig und verwöhnt mit würzigen Nelkendüften. Sein Körper ist voll und vorhandene Tannine sind gut eingebunden. Seine schöne Säure ist geschmeidig und ausgeglichen. Im Abgang ist der Primitivo anhaltend. Zu Pasta mit geschmackvollen Soßen, gegrilltem Fleisch oder gereiftem Käse ist der trockene Rotwein aus Italien ein wundervoller Begleiter.
