Parotet was a landmark in the history of Celler del Roure. Some years ago, they began restoring 400 year-old amphoras that they has discovered in an underground cellar, and started to use them for test winemaking , first in white then in red - Parotet was the first red wine to be made in amphoras.
Vinification
In an underground passageway, Pedro discovered a treasure: a hundred amphoras, 400 years old.
After restoring them, he started using them: the Parotet is macerated and fermented in amphoras, and stays there a while to ripen. One of the biggest advantages is that there is no trace of wood notes, of course.
A revolution in the region.

Trial analysis
Light red colour. Red fruit and Mediterranean spices on the nose.
A very pure mouthfeel, a dense but elegant structure. The perfect illustration of a good Mando wine.
