2023 Es Fresc Mantonegro / Tempranillo / Merlot, Bodega Son Vich, Majorca, Spain

This is such a delightful, lighter style red. It is a wine that was created for drinking chilled on hot summer days as an alternative to the refreshing whites and rosés, but it is so much more than just a light summery drink. Tempranillo, Mantonegro and Merlot grapes combine to produce a wine that is brimming with fruit and just a delightful year-round drink when you fancy something a little lighter and fresher.

The Son Vich de Superna Winery is a family winery which uses traditional production methods. It is located in Majorca, right in the heart of the Serra Tramuntana, one of four wine production areas in the world classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It was born in 2006 with a passion to make wines that are not only high quality, but also different from what was until then being made on the island, always fully respecting the natural environment. The wines produced are white, blanc de noir, rosé and barrel aged red, and indigenous grape varieties are grown, such as Prensal, Manto Negro and Gorgollassa, as well as international ones like Viognier, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot.
