Celler del Roure Vermell 2016

"The amphorae-aged red 2016 Vermell is a Garnacha Tintorera-based blend with 30% Monastrell fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged in amphorae for six months. It has a characterful, primary and a little wild nose, very young, showing some Mediterranean herbs that grew as the wine sat in the glass. It feels like the Tintorera is a nice base for this blend, especially as it's handled here, with lower yields; therefore, they harvest it earlier and make a very soft vinification—almost a white vinification without skins—resulting in a sharper and more vertical wine and then with the kick added by the Monastrell. The palate is very balanced and with very fine tannins. It ends clean and very tasty. This is a delicious young Mediterranean red. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2017".
