Cullerot 2023Celler del Roure - 75 cl.

A village wine made with grapes of old vines (local varieties only). And also an ethical wine made thanks to a crowdfunding in favour of the local winegrowers. Full of character. One of its kind.

After the resurrection of the Bobal grape, Toni set himself to another task: the rehabilitation of Merseguera. This typical grape of the Alto Turia, near Valencia, had all but disappeared - only a few plonk wines of it still remained. This project started more than 10 years ago, on a slope vineyard at some 900 m above sea level, when Bobal grapes never seemed to ripen. Toni decided to replace them with Merceguera plants, and started some micro-vinifications. In 2011, he launched his first Merseguera wine, in small quantities. To give it more aromas and punch, he adds some Malvasia and Viognier to the blend.

Mineral and Mediterranean are this wine's best descriptors. It is made with the grapes of a 3 ha parcel of Macabeu planted in the 1980's, round Santes Creus, at 300 meters above sea-level, on limestone.

The proof of Albet i Noya's technical know-how. The barrel-fermented Chardonnay brings roundness, the sauvignon brings its acidity and minerality, the local Xarello adds a hint of freshness. This gastronomy wine is closed under screw cap since 2009.

3 Macabeus uses grapes from three different vineyards on Finca Can Mila, the most recent purchase of the bodega.

16 years ago, Jané Ventura started to try and revive the Malvasia de Sitges of ancient fame. Many other winemakers followed suit. This light and lively wine is a good introduction to this variety. semperviva means eternal, and is the name of a flower that can be dried and thus preserved for a very long time. A beautiful name for a beautiful wine, of which only 4,400 bottles have been made in this first vintage.

Gessami means jasmin in catalan. This Cava producer harvests its grapes just before the full ripeness, the Cava's biggest enemy being oxydation. As a result, the wine are quite low in alcohol.

A Macabeu-based project. The grapes come from two parcels of one hectare each; one planted in 1969, the other in 1998. All vines are farmed bio-dynamically.

This Cava producer harvests his grapes just before they are fully ripe, oxidation of the most or juice being Cava's biggest enemy. This means his wines are low in alcohol. This Chardonnay from the oldest and highest vines of Mas Escorpí and El Serralet high is full of freshness.

Quibia means "vision". The fish hook (Anima Negra's logo) is larger on the label, because this white wine goes very well with fish.

Quíbia is the imaginary village of Felanitx in the writings of philosopher Llorenç Mostel. The wine has become much more serious in the last five years and is now mainly a blanc de noirs.

With this magnificent project, Victoria wants to revive the grand tradition of Moscatels from the Axarquía - the hilly region east of Málaga city. The 90-year-old vines used for this cuvée are located at some 800m above sea level. Less than 2,000 bottles produced.

This is Javi's first white wine, made from typical Valencian and Méditerranean varietals. These grapes come from the slopes of the Penya Foradà, in Font de la Figuera. The Pla del Micalet (or Michael's plain, Micheal being the patron saint of Valence), is located at 730 metres above the sea level. Only 2000 bottles!

This is the white "village wine" of Terroir al Limit. It is mainly composed of Pedro Ximénez, both spicy and Mediterranean, and a little Muscat d'Alexandrie. Refinement and minerality at its best!
