Finca Allende Marure 2020

Miguel Ángel de Gregorio is a passionate vigneron and one of the most innovative winemakers in our country. Since he founded Finca Allende in 1995, his journey has been an impressive one, which has included the production of such great Rioja reds as Aurus and Calvario. Over the years he has fine-tuned his winemaking expertise, while his white wines have made huge strides.

A few years ago he purchased a vineyard planted in 1947 which contained mainly Tempranillo and a small proportion of a white variety. What he initially thought was Viura (the usual white variety among the region’s old vines) turned out to be White Grenache –a rarity in Rioja Alta. After deciding to vinify these white grapes separately, the results proved amazing.

Marure is an incredibly rare wine –only one barrel per year is made. The grapes are picked painstakingly by hand, since each bunch must be carefully kept intact. The grapes then undergo a gentle pressing in a “timeless” manual basket press.  The must is fermented in just one barrel and a few demi-johns where it remains on its lees for 4 months. Once the lees have been racked off, the wine continues its ageing for over two years in a new French oak barrel.

“This is a unique wine, which I discovered by chance; and like all things unique, it has something magical about it. Marure is many things, but above all it has been a toy that has enabled me to explore the unexplored, and that is what the DNA of Allende is all about. Allende means “what is beyond, beyond time”, points out Miguel Ángel de Gregorio.
