Celler del Roure is a personal project of Pablo Calatayud, whose vineyards are located in Moixenet, Do Valencia. In the last decade, he invested a lot of energy in restoring the XVII century underground cellars with the original amphorae (600-2800 l capacity), which he uses for fermentation and aging. He focuses on reviving almost extinct varieties like Mando and Verdil as well as working with Monastrell, Macabeo, PX and Chardonnay.

Description
‘Vermell’, meaning red is a simpler young vine version of ‘Parotet’ and has red-spectrum fruit rather than the deep licorice and cassis blue-blacks of Parotet. Bright, buzzy and energetic red berries settle into the claypot earthiness which the amphorae present aromatically. A slick note of cherry sweetness settles quickly into savoury elegance. The palate is a touch below mid-weight, fresh and beautifully balanced on fine natural acid and delicate but mature fruit tannin.” Spanish AcquisitionDetails
