The Vineyard

The grapes come from small plots scattered throughout the D.O. Binissalem-Mallorca, cultivated under a philosophy of minimal intervention and deep respect for the environment.

The Mediterranean climate, the diversity of soils, and the predominance of Mantonegro allow for a wine that faithfully reflects the Mallorcan landscape, preserving freshness, balance, and a marked varietal personality.

Harvesting is done manually in boxes of less than 15 kg, ensuring careful fruit selection directly from the vineyard.

Winemaking

After a rigorous manual selection of the bunches, the grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks at temperatures below 24 ºC, undergoing a maceration of between 20 and 25 days to achieve a soft and elegant extraction.

After pressing, part of the wine remains in stainless steel tanks while another part ages in 225-liter French and American oak barrels.

No sulfites are added during alcoholic fermentation; only a slight correction is made after malolactic fermentation. The wine is also not clarified, preserving all its natural expression.

Aging lasts for five months, combining 35% in barrel and 65% in stainless steel, seeking to maintain the purity of the fruit and the characteristic freshness of Mantonegro.

Bottling took place during April and May 2025.
