Safrà 2015
Descripción
Safrà (azafrán en valenciano) es un tinto con alma de blanco. Elaborado en parte con la autóctona Mandó, variedad injustamente olvidada y menospreciada, es actualmente el vino más original de esta bodega. Fluido y vivo, con sensaciones electrizantes, el empleo de la Mandó permite una vendimia ligeramente avanzada, intensificando el carácter del vino. La vinificación se hace en lagares, con una parte de los racimos enteros y maceraciones a baja temperatura muy suaves. Su crianza en tinajas de barro completan la singularidad de este tinto.
En la cata de Luis Gutiérrez para Parker destacó Safrà como una agradable sorpresa. Es de hecho el vino que elegiría para beber de todo el repertorio de la bodega por su capacidad para mostrar la zona sin maquillajes.

Opinión de los críticos
"The surprise came with the new medium range red from the ancient wines that are new with the 2015 vintage, the 2015 Safrà, named after the Valencian word for saffron, fermented in old stone lagares (and part in stainless steel) with some 30% full clusters. It's a mainly Mandó with some 15% between Monastrell and Garnacha Tintorera matured in buried terracotta amphorae for six months. This is by far the most radical and different wine I've ever tasted from Celler del Roure. Not only that, I think it's a wine that starts to show the naked character of the region without any makeup, with some rusticity, Mediterranean but keeping good freshness. The color is a bright ruby, the lightest of all the reds I tasted this time, and the nose shows bright berry fruit without any hints of excess ripeness, not terribly complex, clean and precise. The palate follows the same path, great freshness, a silky texture and great acidity. A fresh Mediterranean red to drink by the boatload without having to think too much. The bright fruit and the balsamic aromas made me think of some País bottlings from Chile. This was a surprise from Celler del Roure. A nice surprise! This is the red I want to drink from the portfolio. 15,000 bottles were filled in April 2016."
