The wine region of Isla de Menorca
Vino de la Tierra of the Balearics (2002) covering Minorca, ~20 ha and 5 bodegas, deep brown limestone soils, temperate Mediterranean climate moderated by the sea. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon lead in reds — fleshy and supple with ripe cherry, plum, blackcurrant and a hint of Mediterranean herbs, rounded tannins and generous flesh. Monastrell, Syrah, Tempranillo and Garnacha as sunny complements. Chardonnay, Malvasía, Macabeo and Moscatel in fresh whites with citrus notes.
The wine region of Iles Baléares
Spanish Mediterranean archipelago (Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza), warm insular climate, limestone soils. Manto Negro (Majorca, 320 ha, native): supple and silky with red cherry, raspberry, plum, Mediterranean herbs and spicy hint, fine tannins and moderate alcohol. Round and fragrant Callet (native) solo or blended (young and rosé). Cabernet and Merlot for ageing cuvées.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
