Product Notes

Finca Allende Rioja Blanco wine is a captivating Spanish white wine, exhibiting unparalleled elegance and complexity. It boasts delicate aromas of citrus fruits, honeyed almonds, and fragrant florals, married harmoniously with beckoning minerality. Its beautifully rounded palate offers balanced acidity and a glamorous creaminess, culminating in a lingering crisp finish. This wine, exquisitely crafted in Rioja, Spain, is primarily composed of Viura grapes that mature in French oak barrels, enabling a depth of character that's truly unrivalled. It's an exceptional choice for those seeking a wine to enliven fine dining experiences or heartening conversations.

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.
