The 2019 Allende Blanco is powerful and ripe, sourced from a warm and dry year that produced a wine with 14% alcohol and very good freshness with a pH of 3.15. This classical blend of Viura with some 5% Malvasía Riojana (Alarije) comes from vines in Briones; it fermented in new French barriques, where it matured with the lees and batonnage twice per week and a further seven months without lees after racking. It's smoky, oaky and spicy and has a round palate that is balanced by very good freshness. A white Rioja in the style of the traditional ones with potential to develop in bottle. 36,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2021.
