Finca Allende Rioja Aurus 2011 (750ml)

Founded in 1986 by Miguel ngel de Gregorio in the hillside town of Briones, Finca Allende is located in an ancient 17thcentury manor, set in a medieval town square within the heart of Rioja Alta.Roughly translated as further, Allendes philosophy is to go further towards creating the perfect Rioja.The majority of vines are plowed with mules, grapes are hand-harvested, triple-selected and manually punched-down, before undergoing extensive underground aging in both barrel and bottle. Known for producing round wines with great body and structure, each bottle is hand-crafted by and contains the signature of Miguel ngel de Gregorio. Considered to be Spains first terroirist, Miguel ngels sincere dedication to natural farming and preserving the integrity of Rioja Alta, are why he is one of the regions most celebrated winemakers and a mastermind when it comes to making world class estate-grown wines.
