They used grapes from 13 different villages throughout the Ribera del Duero, from a total of 130 hectares. The grapes were cooled down for 24 hours, and once destemmed, they were put in the oak and stainless steel vats, where they underwent a five-day cold soak and then native fermentation through a \"pied de cuve.\" The wine has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.81 and 4.8 grams of acidity (tartaric). It's very fresh and fruit-driven, with the balance and elegance of the cooler year, and it's a little austere, with very elegant and polished tannins and a different quality, when the grapes ripen slowly. They believe 2024 has the potential to be like 2021, after the 2022 and 2023 vintages were a lot more challenging. This is a large production of 244,244 bottles, 7,075 magnums and some larger formats. It was bottled in June 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vega Sicilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48083338100926,"sku":"ESVEGA003-2021-750","price":164.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/9991\/9550\/products\/ESVEGA003-2017-750-VEGA-SICILIA-ALION.png?v=1660537754","url":"https:\/\/www.pivene.com\/products\/vega-sicilia-alion-2021-750ml","provider":"PIVĒNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
