Cellar Remnants on sale

Auditori is the latest addition to the Celler Acústic range.This Grenache wine comes from a 80 to 100 year-old vine.

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.

One of the few 100% Cabernet Franc wines in the Iberian Peninsula. It was first planted here as a blending variety. Some years ago, it was decided to vinify it on its own. It was a great success. Limited production (5,300 bottles).

Promo Pack 6 bottles (5+1) "Nude" is a collaboration with "Thunder Wine Makers". The latter we also know from our Ginraw, which was co-crafted by them. Sergi Figueras, Spain's 1st sommelier, does the honours. Together with Augustus, they make wines here without maquillage, hence the name "Nude". Natural wine.

A genuine wine made with the typical grapes of the Priorat. The kind of wine that does not please everyone, but so be it!

This Cava aged in the tradition of the great Champagnes is only produeced in the best years. It bears the name of the founders of the house (the last Battlé married a Gramona). . its production is 10,000 bottles.

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.

The top of this estate's range. Costero is a plot of old vines on sheer slopes of schist (not terraced). It is quite different from the Negre cuvée, both more powerful and more typical of the place (here the French grapes only play a secondary part). Nunci means village crier - the profession of the ex-owner of the estate.

The freakiest of all the Rofe cuvées. A field blend with red and white grapes. Hence its colour, habitually like a clarete, but a little lighter this year, so it qualifies for a white. A wild wine!

Les Tosses is a spectacular high-altitude vineyard, whose soils are composed of the local slate, named Llicorella. the Carignan vines are 100 year-old. It is thus the quintessential Carignan wine of the Priorat. Very small yield.

Limestone or gypse, in catalan. Which looks more like the soils of Jerez than any other part of the Priorat denomination. This top cuvée of estate is a blend of Macabeu, PX (back to Jerez!) and grenache blanc.

Embruix mainly comes from young vines, planted in the 90's, with a complement of some old Grenache and Carignan. But this wine was meant to please. And it does. It is both supple and sensual, and what's more, its has a very good price quality relation. Embruix means bewitched. which is what you will be when you drink it!

Las Tinadas is definitely the best Airén on the market ! In Finca Romeral, this is one of the last parcelas with vieilles vignes Pie Franco (i.e. planted without the normally obligatory American rootstock that protects against phylloxera). Single Vineyard planted in 1950.
