They added two new (rented) plots to the white blend 2021 Cullerot from 40+-year-old vineyards of Macabeo and Malvasía (nonaromatic) on very white soils at 600+ meters in altitude. 2021 saw a later harvest than 2020, and it was a year with a rainy spring and a mild summer. The wines have less muscle and are more immediate and fluid, with lower alcohol and a slightly higher pH. This blend of 30% Pedro Ximenez, 30% Macabeo, 10% Malvasía, 10% Tortosina, 10% Verdil, 5% Merseguera and 5% Chardonnay fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in 2,600-liter clay tinaja for six months. It has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.13 and 6.8 grams of acidity, good ripeness, freshness and balance. The wine is still very young and a little reductive from the recent bottling. It is very fresh and precise, with notes of fennel and herbs and a faint bitter twist, with good length and quite sharp. This year, it has more Macabeo than ever. Give it a few more months in bottle. 55,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022. ... More details

Winery
• Cullerot, which means tadpole, is the white that Pablo makes in the old cellar utilizing heirloom and indigenous varieties including Macabeo, Malvasía, Pedro Ximénez, Verdil, and others. The goal is to base the wine on Mediterranean varieties best suited to the region – varieties that fully ripen with more modest alcohol levels. • 600 meters elevation. • Whole cluster press, natural yeast fermentation beginning in tank and transferred to amphorae to finish fermentation. • 6 months in amphorae.

Country: Spain

Spanish wines are renowned world-wide for carrying all the passion and character of the Spanish culture within them. Any lover of Spanish wine would undoubtedly be able to confirm this notion, as the variety and range of flavors and aromas coming from the high end of Spanish produce is truly impressive, and continues to delight and fascinate both newcomers and the more experienced. Spain benefits massively from an ideal climate for wine production and vine cultivation, with its long, scorching hot summers and far reaching oceanic breezes working perfectly with the native and imported grape varietals, which thrive on the mineral rich soils that cover much of the country. With centuries of knowledge, and generations of expertise under their belts, Spanish wineries continue to focus on raising the quality of their nation's wines, helped along the way by relatively new laws and regulations regarding regional excellence and representativeness.
