2023 Marges Mantonegro Blanc de Négres, Bodega Son Vich, Majorca, Spain

A white wine from red grapes, known in France as Blanc de Noirs and in Majorca as Blanc de Négres.

Manto Negro and Tempranillo strains grown in the coldest zones over the dry stone walls of the Superna Valley. They are picked with great care to prevent the skins breaking and transferring colour to the wine. It is a blanc de negres in its strictest version. The grapes are cold pressed very quickly, meaning that the yield is low. Native yeasts selected through a fermentation starter are incorporated into the must, which ferments for 25 days at a very low temperature. To maintain its freshness and peculiar characteristics, no malolactic fermentation is carried out.

Its aroma is fruity, with pineapple, pear and banana blending with the spiced notes of the Manto Negro. There is both texture and freshness on the palate. A winning combination.
