Maduresa
A red wine from Valencia (Spain) that was aged for twelve months in new and used French oak barrels. The nose is powerful with delightful aromas of blueberries, violets, cocoa, and nuances of Mediterranean herbs, lavender, light spices, and a touch of minerality. A pleasant entry on the palate: with good volume and a long finish that expresses notes of flowers, red berries, and balsam. Pair with small game, grilled meat, white meat, vegetables, stews, and roasts.
Grape Variety / Blend: syrah, cab. sauvignon, garnacha, petit verdot

Winery
Celler del Roure have become the pioneer of quality wine in Valencia. Owner Pablo Calatayud is committed to nurturing and championing the indigenous varieties of the region, most notably the Mando and Verdil grapes, both of which have been on the edge of extinction.
Pablo has realised that these indigenous grapes are worth saving and, treated properly, can create wines of wonderful quality, freshness and concentration. Paying meticulous care in the vineyard and winery reduces the need for sulphur additions meaning his wines are verging on "natural".
Whilst in the cellar he makes use of Spanish amphorae called tinajas to ferment some of his wines to preserve their characteristic freshness and elegance creating pure and delicious wines with distinct flavours.
