Product Notes

Finca Allende Rioja Blanco is a Spanish wine that is made with the utmost care and precision to achieve a unique and vibrant taste. This wine is exclusively produced in the Rioja region of Spain which is known for their exceptional wine-making expertise. The Finca Allende Rioja Blanco is made from a blend of Viura grapes which is then aged for 14 months in French oak barrels. This results in a wine that is complex, full-bodied, and has gorgeous aromas of ripe tropical fruits with a hint of oak. On the palate, it has a rich and creamy texture that ends with a long, lingering finish. Finca Allende Rioja Blanco is a perfect wine for any occasion and pairs well with a wide range of dishes.

Tasting Notes

Golden yellow, lemony colour that is absolutely clear. Elegant and subtle on the nose with hints of citric fruits (grapefruit) and stone fruit (peach and greengage). Balsamic hints. Greasy, sticky, full-flavoured on the mouth with a noticeable body and great lightness as it passes through the mouth and long persistence in retronasal olfaction.

About the Winery

Finca Allende

Finca Allende is housed in a historic manor from the 17th century and is situated in a mediaeval town square in the centre of Rioja Alta. It was established in 1986 by Miguel ngel de Gregorio in the hilly town of Briones. When he came to the town, he found the special terroir that allowed him to produce the wines of his dreams. Allende's concept, which may be loosely interpreted as "further," is to make more efforts to produce the ideal Rioja. Miguel ngel is one of Rioja Alta's most renowned winemakers and a genius in crafting world-class estate-grown wines because of his real commitment to organic agriculture and maintaining the region's authenticity.

Briones looks silhouetted against the sky from its location in La Rioja Alta, on a hillside 80 meters above the landscape below, emphasising the significance of the terroir upon which it was founded. A crucial component that has contributed to Finca Allende's success is the soil's unique characteristics. The beautiful vineyards are situated in Briones on hills that face north, northeast, and northwest. Winds often touch these hills from the Atlantic. Its unique terroir, orientation, climate, and various continental, Mediterranean, and Atlantic influences all work together to support the development of a superior grape, which reveals its potential in the best possible way in Allende wine.

At Finca Allende, they carry out their daily activities in accordance with exhibiting a great regard for their grapes, the environment, and all that nature has to offer them. In order to reduce carbon emissions, most of their crops are grown without using any form of herbicide or artificial pesticides. The grapes are also protected and cared for by returning to traditional methods, which involve carrying out numerous jobs by hand with the help of draught animals. Overall, going for a sustainable approach to grape farming is a choice made every day in this vineyard.
