Celler Alimara Llumi Negre 2019, D.O. Terra Alta, Spain

Celler Alimara is a family-owned winery based in the Terra Alta region of Catalonia, Spain. Founded by British couple Andy & Ali McLeod, the project was born out of a deep passion for wine, sustainability, and the unique terroir of southern Catalonia. The name “Alimara” means “beacon” or “signal fire” in Catalan—symbolising their mission to shine a light on the region’s potential and craft wines that speak clearly of place and purpose. Celler Alimara focuses on producing expressive, small-batch wines that reflect the local landscape, combining traditional Catalan grape varieties like Garnatxa (Grenache), Carinyena (Carignan), and Garnatxa Peluda with modern winemaking techniques. The winery works with low-intervention, sustainable viticulture and takes a minimalist approach in the cellar to allow the fruit and terroir to shine.
