Viura forms the core, with a little Malvasía adding perfume and lift. Expect grapefruit, lemon peel, peach, greengage and dried flowers, layered with honey, walnut, spice, vanilla and a gentle balsamic note.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is full-flavoured and creamy, but not heavy. The oak gives breadth and polish, while the fruit keeps a fresh citrus line through the middle. There is weight, yes, but also drive, minerality and a long, savoury finish. A serious white for the table, with enough structure to age and enough charm to pour now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe white wine needs to hold its own with proper food.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoast chicken, grilled turbot, scallops, lobster, mushroom rice, pork with apple, creamy pasta, Manchego, Comté or roast cauliflower with almonds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinca Allende is the deeply personal project of Miguel Ángel de Gregorio, one of Rioja’s great modern terroir champions. Based in Briones, in Rioja Alta, the estate is known for wines that combine traditional varieties with precise vineyard expression and carefully judged French oak. This Blanco captures that philosophy beautifully: old-vine Viura, a touch of Malvasía, texture, freshness and the kind of quiet complexity that makes white Rioja so compelling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55819340939649,"sku":null,"price":33.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2022RiojaBlanco_FincaAllende.png?v=1781876303","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-rioja-blanco-finca-allende","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
