Safrà 2024 is a fluid red wine, vibrant and with the soul of a white, made mainly from the uva mandó variety, which is being recovered in Mediterranean wine regions after years of neglect. An electrifying red wine aged for 6 months in 2800-liter clay amphorae, fresh and lively.
Safrà 2024 is an organic red wine made from mandó (50%) and arcos (50%), two recovered native varieties from the D.O. Valencia. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards on sandy soils and aged for 6 months in clay amphorae, it stands out for its light and vibrant style, where red fruit, floral notes, and a freshness reminiscent of a white wine create an elegant and highly drinkable profile.
Safrà 2024 originates from organic vineyards located in the Les Alcusses area (Moixent), within the D.O. Valencia, at an altitude of approximately 550–600 meters. The plots, planted on sandy soils poor in organic matter, feature vines around 20 years old, capable of producing low yields and highly balanced grapes. The dry Mediterranean climate and altitude promote a slow ripening process, preserving the natural freshness of the mandó and arcos varieties, whose combination results in a delicate, ethereal wine full of identity.
The harvest is carried out manually, followed by a respectful winemaking process with native yeasts. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, incorporating a portion of whole clusters to enhance aromatic expression. Malolactic fermentation and aging occur over 6 months in buried clay amphorae, an ancestral technique that provides texture, complexity, and natural micro-oxygenation without masking the fruit.
Founded in 1996 in Moixent (Valencia), Celler del Roure is one of the most innovative projects in the Valencian wine scene. Its philosophy revolves around the recovery of forgotten native varieties such as mandó and the application of traditional techniques like aging in clay amphorae. The winery combines modern research with ancestral methods, aiming for authentic, fresh wines that faithfully express the Mediterranean landscape. Safrà perfectly represents this vision: an honest, light wine deeply connected to its territory.

Creators' opinion
Safrá boasts a beautiful bright ruby red color. On the nose, it is a complex wine that combines aromas of red fruits (sour cherry) and blue flowers like violet, with balsamic notes and hints of spices and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is lively and fluid, almost like a white wine. Elegant and subtle, it is a very well-balanced wine. Long, deep, and flavorful, with polished tannins that provide a velvety texture. Fresh and luscious, its finish reveals enticing bitter tones.
