Discover the grape variety: Callet
This grape variety is native to the Balearic Islands (Spain), more precisely to the island of Mayorque, and has been cultivated for a very long time. It is said to be the result of a natural cross between the Callet Cas Concos (Negrella) and the Fogoneu, the former being in danger of extinction. Callet is hardly known in other wine-producing countries, but in France it should be interesting for the production of original rosé wines that are pleasant to drink.
