Vermell
This is a cherry red wine from Valencia (Spain) that is a blend of Monastrell, Garnacha Tintorera, and Mando. The nose expresses aromas of ripe red fruit and an earthiness which is a direct result of being made in clay amphorae. On the palate, there is an explosion of cherries and ripe berries along with a slight savoriness and fine acidity. Perfect for pairing with sausages or roast chicken.
Grape Variety / Blend: monastrell, garnacha tintorera, mando

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.
