Delicious red from the brilliant Celler del Roure winery in Moixent, Valencia. Aged in clay amphora for c5 months.
"The 2022 Vermell was produced with 50% Mandó, 30% Arcos and 20% Garnacha Tintorera, a very different blend from the 2020 I had tasted last time, with a lot less Garnacha Tintorera, turning more into a small brother of the Safrà and Parotet. It's a light red with 13.5% alcohol, a medium body and good freshness with brightness and pretty notes, perfumed and fresh. It's elegant, with finesse, and has much more elegant tannins. It's more serious, less rustic." 92+ Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate 18/1/24
It's a lovely bright, fresh, perfumed red, great served with a slight chill. Red cherry and berry fruits are the main focus with a touch of spice, it's all quite crunchy and easy drinking. A Valencian Beaujolais almost! Great with fish like tuna through to red meats too.
