This is now a different blend, 60% Monastrell, 30% Cariñena and 10% Syrah, as they have removed the Bordeaux varieties. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in larger oak containers, larger barrels and 5,000-liter foudres. What they did in 2016 with Maduresa has been done here now, making it more local and Mediterranean, flesh and fine-boned, with integrated oak and perfumed and attractive with floral notes, orange peel, blood oranges and aromatic herbs.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Robert Parker's - The Wine Advocate \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was the first cuvée that Pablo created at Celler del Roure, but, the percentage of French varieties in the blend has gradually decreased in its three-decade evolution. At the same time, the elevage employs less new French oak with larger barrels and foudres replacing barriques. Les Alcusses takes its name from the ancient Celtiberian archeological site located nearby La Bastida de Les Alcusses, and the label shows a lead plaque found in the ruins. It is thought to be a financial document, but the Southeastern Celtiberian script has yet to be fully deciphered.\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbv 14%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41674446798981,"sku":"27662","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0318\/1137\/1141\/files\/Les_Alcusses.jpg?v=1780263893","url":"https:\/\/winedirect.co.nz\/products\/celler-del-roure-les-alcusses-do-valencia-2023","provider":"winedirect.co.nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
