Parotet
This is a cherry red wine from Valencia (Spain) with aromas of ripe red fruit and earthiness as a result of being aged in amphorae. On the palate, the rich and fruity style is full of big red berry flavors such as cherries and other red berries. The aging in clay creates a microoxygenation which creates silky tannins and delightful acidity which creates a long finish on the palate. The wine is a perfect partner with sausages, slow-cooked red meat in a rich sauce, tapas, fish, and roast chicken.
Grape Variety / Blend: mando, monastrell
Winery / Estate: Celler del Roure

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.
