The red 2015 Allende is a perfect example of the style of this wine. It has a sleek palate with moderate acidity and polished tannins that make it very easy to drink. It was a warm and dry year that delivered powerful wines. This matured in French barriques for 14 months, and during that time, it was racked every two months. 320,000 bottles produced.

The eponymous red 2014 Allende shows some evolution on the nose, with notes of honey and beeswax, an herbal touch and some spices. It feels like a lighter year, a bit more fragile and delicate. This is a year to drink sooner rather than later. 300,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2018.

This is the winery's flagship red, of which 220,000 bottles are produced. The 2013 Allende was cropped from a wet and cool year with an early harvest that started on September 27th. The grapes come from vineyards in Briones on clay-rich soils, and the destemmed but uncrushed grapes fermented in stainless steel after a six-day cold soak at 5 degrees Celsius. The wine matured in French oak barrels for 14 months with rackings every four months. It's toasty and with a lactic touch, notes of toffee and something leafy (tea, tobacco). The palate is medium-bodied with some grapey flavors and fine tannins. A lighter vintage of Allende. It was bottled in February 2016.

The regular red 2012 Allende is pure Tempranillo from vineyards in the village of Briones, fermented in stainless steel (malolactic included) and matured in French barriques for 14 months. This is the first vintage when they used 100% of their own grapes, as in the past they still purchased some grapes for this cuvée. The nose is clean and very harmonious, with nicely integrated oak in a subtle, approachable way, showing some more toasty aromas as the wine sat in the glass. The palate feels equally balanced, with very fine tannins, very approachable and with good overall balance. This shows amazing, vibrant acidity, which makes it very accessible and at the same time it should make it quite long-lived. 250,000 bottles produced.
