Non-vintage Viñedo de los Vientos Alcyone Dessert Wine

Alcyone, a Greek demi-goddess, was the daughter of Eolo and wife of Ceyx. They were happy together, but then Ceyx perished in a shipwreck and Alcyone in dispair threw herself into the sea. Out of compassion, the gods changed her into a halcyon bird. Since Alcyone made her nest on the beach, and waves threatened to destroy it, Eolo restrained his winds and made the waves be calm during seven days, so she could lay her eggs. These became known as the “halcyon days”, when storms never occur. Alcyone became the goddess of calm and tranquility. As the story ends with tranquility, so does the longsome finish our Tannat dessert wine.
