Overview

Vermell is a blend featuring 70% Garnacha Tintorera – a 19th-century French crossing of Garnacha and Aramon Noir that was widely planted after phylloxera. It was initially prized for its dark color (its flesh is red as is its skin) and productive yields. It gradually found its way to Iberia with significant plantings in Galicia, La Mancha, Valencia, and Southern Portugal. Vermell also includes 30% younger vine Mandó. Hand harvested, destemmed, and fermented by natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks and stone lagars, then aged in amphorae. Vermell showcases the typical bright, red-berried, and herbal flavors of Garnacha Tintorera without being overripe or overbearing. It is an excellent introduction to the new “old style” of wines at Celler del Roure.
