You may not have heard much about Valencian wine, but the traditions here run just as deep as in Rioja or Galicia. In 1995, Pablo Calatayud founded the Celler del Roure in an ancient winemaking facility filled with amphorae of all sizes from simple clay pots to large tanks built into the walls of the underground cellar and connected by stone carved channels. It stood as something of a museum of winemaking for several years, but Pablo got curious. The Celler’s mission is to highlight traditional Valencian varieties like Mandó, Tortosino, Verdil, and Merseguera that were unknown elsewhere. Using traditional Valencia winemaking tools became a natural extension of the project, and today all those amphorae are put to work making wines that show these varieties at their best. The Cullerot Blanco is made of Pedro Ximénez, Macabeo, Tortosina, Malvasía, Verdil, Merseguera, and others in small amounts. The wine is low in alcohol, with aromas of apple, pear, and white plum, with honeysuckle, lime juice, and a sandy soil note. The palate shows fleshy texture, fresh lemon, herbs, and salty notes with toe curling acidity that relaxes into a lingering finish accented with a hint of cream and orange oil. It’s a stunning wine from a surprising source, and suitable for the sort of Mediterranean seafood dishes you would find in Valencia.
