Bodega Finca Allende
It does slightly more than 30 years that Nicolás de Gregorio, of La Mancha vine-grower of wide experience, assembled to his family and put course to Rioja to take charge of the Marquess's historical vineyards of Murrieta.
With him it was taking the small one of only six months - Michael Angel - who, today, in spite of his youth, it has turned already into one of the most anxious and uncontrollable enologists of Rioja.
With only 25 years and newly released his title of Agricultural engineer, Michael Angel took charge of the direction of a small Winery of Logrono, Wineries Breton, and in the years passed since then, managed to stamp on the wines of this house an own personality and to position them on the market with an unsuspected solidity; all this without resigning interesting "experiences" crowned by the success.
The character of Of Gregorio - man of multiple curiosities, with certain Renaissance halo-, almost was forcing him to try the adventure of the personal wine; of there the creation of Finca Allende, a familiar adventure in the one that seeks to experience and to develop, without any condition, his many ideas. From 1997 he devoted himself in sole right to his Winery.
In the projects a few times one counts with money, others, with ideas, and some, few ones, with both things simultaneously. In this case, the means are limited but the abundant ideas.
From the first production of the house, the Allende 1995 revealed a wine in which they can appreciate a series of distinctive features--Production for the method of carbonic maceration, upbringing jousts in casks of French and American oak, predominance of the fruit on the wood, concentration without concessions ...-, that want to turn the Allende into wines with own personality, easily recognizable. The carbonic maceration has been giving up as Michael Angel has possessed better means. During 2000-2001 his great dream will be completed: the construction of his new Winery in Briones, close to a splendid building of stone of the 17th century that is the new headquarters of Finca Allende. About the people, several Michael Angel's small old vineyards, which he believes with fervor in the quality and the power that the soils give, marcadamente clayey, of this famous Riojan locality.
