The Alvarez family bought the estate in 1982 and in 1991 decided to create a Ribero del Duero released earlier than their famous Unico and so Alión was born, taking its name from Leon, where the family patriarch was born.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"product-lightbox\" data-fancybox=\"15743086821720\" class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vega-sicilia-alion-2020-whelehans-wines-online-winestore_5000x.jpg?v=1778500831\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ten\n          columns\n        \n        medium-down--one-whole\n        product__details\n        product__details--product-page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\n            product-block--description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlush \u0026amp; Elegant Ribera del Duero from legendary wine estate\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eA graceful red, with a pure beam of crème de cassis gliding across the plush palate, accented by notes of sassafras, pomegranate, tar-tinged smoke and dried sage.
