Wine Description

The exact recipe varies every year (of course!), but in general the wine is a blend of Premsal and Callet grapes fermented in cement vats and stainless steel tanks followed by several months of lees aging.

Acclaim
“This white blend from Mallorca is melony up front and, like an island wine is prone to show, saline is all over the nose. In the mouth, this is melony but not too soft, with flavors of papaya, banana and honeydew. A smooth, creamy finish says drink this soon.”
