Issue 260 End of April 2022, The Wine Advocate
The red blend 2020 Vermell was produced with 70% Garnacha Tintorera, 25% Mandó and 5% Arcos. The Mandó, used in this wine since 2018, gives it more balance, finesse and roundness, and the Arcos, which should increase in percentage in the following years as the new plantings come into production, gives it a little more length. It matured in underground and buried 2,600-liter clay tinajas (amphorae) for five months. It has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.4, which speaks of its great freshness. It has a pale and bright ruby color, and it's medium-bodied, perfumed and fresh. It's more elegant and has more finesse; they have fine-tuned the vinification of the Garnacha Tintorera, which is also being reduced in the blend. All the reds from 2020 are one step above previous vintages. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2021.
The current varietal breakdown of Celler del Roure is as follows: 13 hectares of Monastrell, eight of Garnacha Tintorera, 14 hectares of Mandó, 15 hectares of Arco, 17 hectares of red French varieties and 16 hectares of traditional white grapes. Their classical range, Les Alcusses and Maduresa, is based on Monastrell, and the wines are more structured, aged in barrique and foudre. The "old-style wines," the reds Vermell, Safrá and Parotet and the white Cullerot are more fluid and produced with old recovered varieties matured in buried tinajas. The newer range is Les Filles d'Amalia, rosés, still and sparkling. All in all, they produce 350,000 bottles.
I tasted mostly 2020s, one of the earlier harvests like 2017 and 2012 that brought healthy and perfectly ripe grapes that delivered wines with finesse and freshness. One of the finest vintages for Celler del Roure.

The Spanish winery Celler del Roure is located in the town of Mogente, in the interior of the province of Valencia. There are 4 farmlands on the north side of the Serra Grossa and in the Alforins-Alcusses valley at about 550m height on average. The soil generally consists of clay and lime, is sandy and contains little organic material. The mountain ranges guide the dry continental winds (poniente) in the right direction, while the humid winds mainly come from the sea (levante) with an average pluviometry around 600 liters.
The wines of Celler del Roure are known as the most beautiful wines of the Valencia region. The winery has an impressive own style, among other things by using amphora, makes very elegant wines and works entirely according to organic methods. The winery is also part of several university studies in the field of 'vine water stress', canopy management and vine management systems.
History
Celler del Roure winery was started as a small family business in 1996 with the aim of producing red wines. The winery was founded by Pablo Calatayud who planted the vines together with his father and brother. Initially, 2 wines were produced, the Alcusses and Maduresa. The 1st Alcusses of this winery dates from 2000 and was named after the nearby ancient (4th century BC) Iberian settlement. In order not to forget the beautiful and long cultural history of this terroir, a text in an ancient script was printed on the label, which was found on a lead plate in the settlement.
In 2006, the ambitious Pablo bought an old cave with vineyards to expand the company. He discovered an underground tunnel system with nearly 100 buried amphora jars. The find turned out to be a great discovery because the amphoras were still in good condition despite apparently having been in the ground for over 300 years. Pablo was very interested in the jars and started restoring them. He managed, thanks to an ingenious sealing system, to close the amphora properly. As a result, no oxidation could occur. The unique possibility of using the amphora produces very beautiful and special wines.
Currently, 20 amphorae have been restored and filled with various red and white wines. Tests show that the quality of the wines is becoming more and more beautiful and convincing. The ancient tradition has been restored to this! Because the ancient jugs of clay, unlike, for example, oak barrels, do not give off aromas, the essence and soul of the wine comes into its own even better.
In addition to the Alcusses and Maduresa, the winery now also produces 3 new wines: Gallets setze, Cullerot and Parotet.
Grape varieties
Pablo has now gained a lot of experience with various varieties of worked things out. For example, he has put the Tempranillo with Monastrell because the Tempranillo is not doing well in this region. The winery currently has about 66 hectares of vineyards with young and older vines with the grape varieties Merlot, Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tintorera, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Mando and Chardonnay. In addition, for the white wines, grapes are also bought (Malvasia, Macabeu, Pedro Ximenez, Verdil) from old vines.
The Mando grape, one of the varieties that Pablo focuses on most in the red wines, is not very common in the region, has little yield, is very sensitive to wood aging and is also very delicate. The Monastrell is also important in this region and also the Tintorera. The other categories give structure (Cabernet Sauvignon), body (Petit Verdot), round juicy tannins (Merlot) or more character (Syrah) to his wines. Almost all of these latter categories are now older than 15 years.
Harvest & vinification
As befits a good winery, here too the grapes are only harvested manually and carefully checked. Maceration and fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats. Aging method differs per species. For example, the Maduresa gets the malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, where in other varieties it is on stainless steel. Oak barrels of different contents (225, 300 and 500 liters) are used for education, which are renewed every 4 years at the latest. And the amphoras are also increasingly used and tested further. It is now a fact that the Mando grape develops better on the amphora as on the oak barrels. The Cullerot (white wine) has also undergone the major part (60%) of its fermentation on amphora, after which the 5-month upbringing also follows amphora.
