Wines of Rafael Cambra
Re: Viña Izadi
Ver mensaje de PodolskiDear Podolski, Vina Izadi started now to sell the wines of Finca Villacreces as well (from vintage 2000). The rioja’s from Vina Izadi
2001 are excellent. The Expression (their single vineyard Rioja) won
in a tasting of Decanter where 500 top Spanish wines were tasted.
Unfortunatly this wine isn’t launched untill 2007!
Re: Viña Izadi
Ver mensaje de reindiebenI’m concerned with that fact since I have good relationship with Viña Izadi management. Villacreces is a top-notch and match perfectly in their product portfolio.

Celler del Roure
Ver mensaje de Juan SuchIs the name of the wine cellar (celler means cellar in Valencian). This is the fax number:
+34 96 229 51 42
And this is the mail: cellerdelroure AT hotmail.com
And about the wines of Rafa I agree with Juan, the style os his wine is the modern international one, however I strongly agree that he’s on the right way but needs some more vintages to master his vineyards... I’m sure he will as he has one of the most important ";vine nurseries"; in Spain...
Cheers and welcome to Verema!

Ver mensaje de Juan SuchDear Paco Higon,
Thanks for you info.
Here’s the thing that I didn’t understand untill now.
What’s a vine nursery? How many are there? And how may hectares
has Rafael Cambra got, because he hasn’t explained me yet.
Evolution of grapes in Celler del Roure
Ver mensaje de Juan SuchPablo Calatayud has reported to me that in the 2004 vintage the grapes for future Maduresa and Les Alcusses are 20% Syrah, 20%Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Monastrell, 10% Merlot, 10% Mandó and 5% Petit Verdot.
This grape composition will continue changing in future vintages until Syrah, Monastrell and Mandó are the core grapes for his wines.
Re: Evolution of grapes in Celler del Roure
Ver mensaje de Juan SuchQuite a unique cepage.
I will soon get my hands on this wine and see for myself, but do you happen to know how the US importer is?

Ver mensaje de PodolskiNerja,
Are you friends with Lalo Anton or his father? I know them because our company represents the wines of the Vina Izadi group for Holland.
They are really developping a great wine protfolio from different regions from Spain! (Toro, Rias Baixas, etc.)
