There is one new red here, a red produced and bottled without any added sulfur. It's called 2015 Allende Nature and it's the only wine I know to wear a best-before date: the producer does not guarantee the wine after that date, in this case May 2017. It's pure Tempranillo from a single vineyard in Briones, fermented in plastic bins and matured in American oak barrels for a period of five months. There are some peachy notes, very fruit-driven, very unlike 'natural' wines. This is a fruit-forward, juicy red where the preservatives are acidity, tannin and alcohol; so he looked for a plot with marked tannins and marked acidity because it's north facing, and it's a slope that achieves good ripeness and potential high alcohol. Perhaps the voluptuousness of the wine comes from the American oak. It's clean with none of the problems many unsulfured wines show. This has more of a commercial profile, it won't please the fans of 'natural' wines; this has bright, upfront fruit and with time in the glass, it shows the effect of the oak more. 1,400 bottles were filled in April 2016.
