An easy-drinking, elegant wine with crunchy red fruit, a subtle spice and a pretty nose. Smooth tannins and brilliant acidity, this wine is an excellent introduction to the style of wines produced at Celler del Roure.
The estate comprises of 65 hectares of certified-organic vineyards, planted at 600 metres above sea level. The grapes are sourced from the lowest part of the estate, where the soil is the most fertile, resulting in higher yields. The vines are grown on clay and sandy loam soils, from vines aged between 20 and 40 years old.
The grapes were hand picked into 15kg crates and destemmed before maceration took place in stainless steel for around 10 days. Malolactic fermentation also took place in stainless steel tanks, before the wine was aged for six months in 2,800 litre ‘tinajas’ (clay amphorae).
