Cullerot (tadpole, in the Valencian dialect) is a nickname for Valencian people - hence the image on the label.
For some years now, Celler del Roure has tried to save the old local varietals. They are still using the "old winemaking system", in the big earthenware amphoras (tinajas) they have kept on this ancient estate. 2010 was the first vintage of this cuvée. Production is around 24,000 bottles.
Vinification
20% of the blend has skin contact maceration for 5 days at low temperature; 60% of the blend is tinaja-fermented and they stay there for 5 months. the rest is fermented in stainless steel tanks, on its lees, at 16°C.
Storage potential
Ready to drink!
To serve
12°C in a large glass, so as to express the aromas to the max.
Trial analysis
After the wine has been given some air, ripe fruit and Mediterranean flowers and spices appear.
One noticed some more fruit on the palate, which goes broader and juicer all the time. A nice, crisp finish, too.
