WINE DESCRIPTION
Allende Gaminde is a premium red wine produced by Finca Allende, a highly regarded winery located in the Rioja region of Spain. The wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Graciano grapes grown in the estate's Gaminde vineyard, which benefits from the area's unique terroir, characterized by clay and limestone soils and a Mediterranean climate. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including aging in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is full-bodied and elegant, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla, making it an ideal choice for pairing with grilled meats, game, and strong cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Allende Gaminde is a classic Rioja blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo.It is an intense and complex wine with a nose of dark cherries, violets, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, it is silky and smooth with notes of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and lingering. Enjoy this wine with grilled meats or aged cheeses.
