Allende 2015 is one of the standout wines from Finca Allende, located in the prestigious Rioja Alta. Under the direction of Miguel Ángel de Gregorio, this winery has set trends in contemporary Rioja since the 1990s. The wine is composed entirely of Tempranillo from vineyards aged 35 to 45 years, planted in clay-limestone soils. Manual harvesting with selection at the winery guarantees the quality of the fruit. The production process includes a cold pre-fermentation maceration followed by fermentation in stainless steel. Allende 2015 ages for 14 months in French oak barrels, receiving periodic racking to perfect its structure. The 2015 vintage, notable for its warm and dry climate, produces a wine of great concentration and maturity while maintaining a distinctive freshness due to the Atlantic environment of Briones. This wine showcases intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, and ripe red fruit, integrated with notes of cedar, tobacco, and cocoa. Its profile includes fine spices and mineral and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is silky and balanced, with soft tannins and a tension that harmonizes depth and freshness. The finish is persistent and mineral, exemplifying the refinement of Finca Allende's wines, offering a solid and gastronomic interpretation of modern Rioja, with the ability to evolve in the bottle.
