Allende Blanco 2020
HK$ 274.94
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The white 2020 Allende Blanco might be overshadowed by the other whites produced here, but you should not dismiss it, as it's a phenomenal modern version of the classical whites from Rioja with complexity, volume and aging potential. It has a moderate 13.6% alcohol and very good freshness (the pH is 3.24), a complex nose with plenty of spice and pollen, a creamy touch and a very tasty, fresh and balanced palate. It should age nicely in bottle. 36,000 bottles were filled in April 2022, after the wine spent 15 months in French oak barrels.

Description
Allende Blanco is a white wine from the D.O.Ca. Rioja made at Finca Allende, which is located in Briones in La Rioja Alta. This wine has been made mainly with Viura and a small amount of Malvasia from vineyards with an average age of 55 years, owned by the winery.
With this wine, the manager Miguel Ángel de Gregorio has demonstrated that he is capable of making excellent white wines at his Briones estate, undoubtedly one of the best winemakers in Spain!
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and selected in the winery. Fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature of 20 °C for 28 days with indigenous yeasts. Aging lasts 14 months in French oak Bordeaux barrels, the first seven months on the lees, with battonage twice a week with subsequent racking and another seven months of aging without lees.
Taste
Allende Blanco stands out for its great volume and fruity aromatic intensity, light toasted notes and a light and persistent mouthfeel.
A white wine of pleasant surprises
Allende Blanco is a white wine like few others, with the character of the great classic Rioja wines and with a great potential for aging in bottle.
In the gastronomic field it is the ideal accompaniment to dishes such as cod, raw seafood, Iberian ham, cooked seafood, oysters, grilled seafood or rice dishes.
