Celler Alimara, Pinzellada ‘GN’ 2018 vs Chateau de Cremat Organic 2016

Celler Alimara, Pinzellada ‘GN’ 2018

The 2018 “GN” is 100% Grenache (Garnatxa Negra), sourced from 30+ year-old vines at Mas de Cabrera and aged for 21 months in oak. It’s a beautifully balanced, fruit-driven red, brimming with ripe red and black fruits, layered with notes of fudge, vanilla, cedar, and toffee. The oak is well integrated, the tannins are smooth, and there’s a lovely touch of complexity on the finish. Versatile and expressive, it pairs brilliantly with chargrilled steaks, roast meats, hearty pizzas, or strong cheeses — and as a 100% vegan wine, it’s equally at home alongside rich lentil casseroles or mushroom-based dishes. Celler Alimara is a small, quality-focused winery based in Catalonia’s Terra Alta region. Founded by husband-and-wife team Alison and Andy McLeod, the estate champions low-intervention winemaking and sustainable practices. Pinzellada, meaning “Brush Stroke” in Catalan, is Celler Alimara’s creative expression of each vintage, a series where every release paints a unique picture of the year.
