A rare gem from the Mediterranean. Mallorca is not one of the first places to come to mind within the wine world, but it does have a long history. Here, Callet shines at it's very best, in addition of lesser amounts of Montonegre Fogoneau and Syrah. The vineyards are old, planting dates that range from 1927 to 1962. Yield are low, the concentration of aroma and flavor is high. The vines are dry farmed. Deep in color, but not heavy, the aromas are fantastic, scents of dried orange rinds, Asian five spice and cracked pepper, it's silky smooth. Aged one year in oak barrels, a combination of French and American. The wine is a beauty.  Drink it with most anything from the grill or hearty red meat dishes. It's also great with black olives or flavorful mushrooms dishes. It's very appealing from the moment that it keeps well into day two. Total production 15000 cases. Drink now through 2026.
