Grimalt Caballero · 2021
Francesc Grimalt (oenologist) and Sergio Caballero are keen enthusiasts of Mallorca’s local grape varieties and well-known for their devotion and dedication to the environment and their vineyards: studying the plants, the soils, selecting, recovering…, with the aim of improving conditions for the grapes, which are therefore able to reflect their identity in the most genuine and natural way. Their new wine is named after them, and is made using Callet (90%) and Fogoneu grapes, from vines aged between 40 and 50 years old, grown organically, with minimum intervention, in clay loam soils on the Vinya Petita (0.34 ha) and Vinya Ermassos (0.6 ha) estates. Their purpose here is to offer us their own individual interpretation of the Callet: a grape rich in sensations of violets and mineral notes (particularly phosphorous). A wine that is very fresh, subtle, refined and complete. It may be a little pricier than some, but its limited production, of 1,000 bottles, doesn’t allow much time for thinking it over.
