In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Crunchy red fruit that snaps with energy, underpinned by acidity that makes every sip feel alive. A pretty aromatic lift runs through the palate with subtle spice—the kind of wine that invites you back to the glass before it empties. At 13% ABV with smooth tannins that never dominate, this is an effortless, immediate pleasure with genuine character.

The Winery — Celler del Roure

Pablo Calatayud founded Celler del Roure in 2000 as part of a generation reviving traditional methods and overlooked varieties across Spain. He sits alongside peers like Telmo Rodríguez and Pepe Raventós in the 'Futuro Viñador' collective, a pioneering group reshaping the country's wine landscape. Winemaker Paco Senis works the 2024 vintage using indigenous yeasts and traditional clay amphorae ('tinajas'), aging the 70% Mandó, 30% Arcos blend for six months. The grapes, from certified-organic vineyards at 600 metres behind Moixent, underwent gentle 10-day maceration in stainless steel before malolactic fermentation—a restrained approach that preserves the wine's signature freshness and natural purity. Despite the challenging 2024 harvest, when a Dana flood cut yields across Valencia, careful canopy management kept these grapes healthy and concentrated.
