Allende is a red wine from the DO Rioja, made from Tempranillo and prepared by Finca Allende, located near the town of Logroño, capital of the Spanish province La Rioja. Despite producing wine since 1995, the history of the winery actually had its origin 30 years ago when Miguel Angel Gregorio took over the historic vineyards of Marqués de Murrieta, the first producer of Rioja wine.

The vineyards that were developed by Allende have an average age of 45 years. The soil is clay with grave. Its cultivation is sustainable, using organic fertilizer and mechanical tillage without the use of herbicides.

This vintage had a soft, dry autumn with irregular winter frosts alternating with warm days, a mild and rainy spring and a hot, dry summer. On its production, the selection is made manually. After fermentation, the grapes are macerated for 16 days with their skins. Gravity is used to conduct a vertical pressing before the malolactic fermentation, which carried out in stainless steel. Finally, Allende is aged for 14 months in French oak Bordeaux barrels. Every four months a transfer is made.

On the nose, fruit sensations (blackberries, blueberries, black fruits) dominate the perfectly integrated tones conveyed by aging in wood barrels that provide sensations of cedar and tobacco. Lively on the mouth with power and a great balance; broad and flavoursome combining fruity freshness and the elegant structure of a wine that is suitable for aging.

notes

“Finca” means “parcel”. Situated in La Rioja Alta, on a hill that stands 80 metres above the surrounding countryside, “Finca Allende” appears silhouetted against the sky, so reflecting the importance of the terroir.

      A good selection. Perhaps could have done with a little more cheese - but it was perfect for 2 for lunch or a light meal.

      I’ve been looking to buy the Albariño wine served at Iberica for ages. Now they sell online. Delighted. Easy to order. Love the restaurant.
