This is a new winery owned by UK importers Andy & Ali McLeod who have slowly been buying vineyards with old vines of native grapes. The aim of the celler is to produce low volume hand made wines that capture the best of Terra Alta, a region of much potential that has for too long been dominated by uninteresting cooperatives. Located about 30 mins ot the west of Priorat this is Catalunya's most remote DO- on the right bank of the river Ebro, between the towering mountains of Pàndols Cavalls and Els Ports and the border with Aragón.
Winemaking is under the supervision of Andrew Halliwell, who has made wine on 5 continents and brings a wealth of experience to the team.
Celler Alimira Pinzellada Negre 2016
13.5% abv
Pinzellada is the new range from Celler Alimara and this wine is the predecessor to their iconic La Xispa Seleccio. The Pinzellada Negre is a blend of 74% Carignan and 26% Grenache. Both of the grapes are sourced from old vines aged between 30-40 years old in the region of Terra Alta. The wine is also aged in a mixture of new and old French oak barrels to aid the depth, balance and complexity of flavour. Pinzellada Negre is rich, intense, well structured and absolutely stunning value for money.
