Elaboration
This single varietal can only be produced when the Mantonegro is delicate and perfumed. The primary aromas must be present and at the same time depth and nerve are required. It shares vineyards with Ribas de Cabrera, but the grapes do not remain on the plant as long, in order to achieve a more fluid and lively wine. The grapes go through a triple selection, the bunches are supervised in the vineyard and again in the winery, and the grapes that do not meet the established parameters are discriminated; overripe or green bunches and those that are not in perfect sanitary conditions must be avoided. Fermentation, which is carried out by our own yeasts selected from our vineyard, takes place in concrete tanks or oak vats at moderate temperatures of between 25 and 27ºC and maceration is extended for a total of 4-5 weeks. Subsequently, the “flor” wine and the first part of the press wine are transferred to 500-litre barrels and 2,500-litre foudres to refine the tannins, where they remain for a year.

Elaboration
Harvested from our vineyards with the greatest potential on the Ca’n Ribas estate, where grapes have been grown for more than three centuries, with the aim of increasing the complexity and concentration of the Mantonegro. The low yields, caused by the old age of the vines or the early elimination of part of the harvest, facilitate optimum phenolic ripening. The blend is complemented by the Mediterranean Syrah variety, which provides structure and allows for longer ageing.
Traditional harvesting by hand and subsequent passage through a double selection table: in the first selection, the least ripe bunches are eliminated, which are reserved for making rosé, and in the second selection, the grapes that do not meet the requirements are eliminated; the grapes must be ripe and in a good state of health.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks at moderate temperatures of between 25 and 27ºC, avoiding overmaceration to extract the primary red fruit aromas of the Mantonegro and the soft, round tannins of the Syrah. Ageing in 500 litre French barrels for the Mantonegro and 225 litre barrels for the Syrah for one year to polish the tannins.

Elaboration
Selection of Mantonegro vineyards planted on shorter and more limiting soils, with the aim of improving homogeneity and phenolic ripeness in a variety that is very plastic and variable depending on the terroir. The Mantonegro is accompanied by the Mediterranean variety Syrah, which is well adapted to our terroir and provides depth and structure to the blend.
The grapes are traditionally harvested by hand and then passed through two sorting tables: in the first sorting, bucnhes that are not in the best sanitary conditions are removed and the less ripe bunches are reserved for making rosé. In the second sorting, which is carried out on the grapes after destemming the bunches, the green berries and stalks are discarded.
Fermentation with our own yeasts in concrete tanks at moderate temperatures of between 25 and 27ºC, with gentle maceration to extract the primary red fruit aromas of the Mantonegro and the soft, round tannins of the Syrah, without obtaining heavy polyphenols. Subsequent ageing for 12 months in 3500 litre oak vats and 500 litre barrels in order to soften the tannins and allow early consumption of the wine without the need for bottle ageing.

Grape varieties : 100% Mantonegro
Alcohol strength : 12%

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Clean and bright pale salmon pink colour.
Nose: Expressive with notes of wild red fruit, pomegranate, redcurrants, pink grapefruit, white peach and fresh balsamic notes.
Palate: On the palate is fresh and fluid, with repeated aromas of fresh red fruit.
Pairing Suggestions: Ideal with Mallorcan “Tumbet”, pasta, sushi and rice dishes.

Elaboration
Early and manual harvesting of Mantonegro grapes from our vineyards with deeper soils and a higher percentage of clay, in order to produce fresher wines. In the winery, the bunches are selected on a sorting table where those that are not in optimal conditions of health or ripeness are eliminated. Pressing at very low pressures – maximum yield 55% – to avoid oxidation and extraction of heavy polyphenols from the skins and thus highlight the primary fruit aromas. Fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks at 13-15ºC for approximately 30 days with a selected indigenous yeast from our vineyards, thanks to a collaboration project with the University of the Balearic Islands. Very gentle clarification to eliminate possible bitter notes and low sulphur content added.

Elaboration
The grapes are harvested by hand before being strictly selected, bunch by bunch, at the triage table to guarantee the highest quality. The aim is to achieve the best Viognier possible, a variety with great aromatic potential. The grapes are gently pressed at low pressure in a pneumatic press to prevent oxidation and to maintain the primary aromas.

Grape varieties : 88% Prensal Blanc, 12% Giró Ros
Alcohol strength : 12%

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale yellow color with bright green hues.
Nose: It shows a range of fresh aromas such as pear, apple and quince along with floral hints of orange blossom.
Palate: The attack is fresh, lively and youthful, with aromas of pear and appel and a slight hint of white flowers.
Pairing Suggestions: Ideal to enjoy with appetizers, salads and fish.

Elaboration
Made from a selection of Prensal Blanc vineyards, harvested by hand between the end of August and mid-September. The older, goblet-trained vines, with greater clonal diversity, are the first to ripen as they are planted on shorter soils and provide length on the palate. The younger vines, planted in deeper soils and coming from a mass selection of the old vines, are harvested from September onwards, and give the wine freshness on the nose and a more fluid passage through the mouth.
A small percentage of Giró Ros, also a local variety, contributes to the whole by accentuating the primary aromas of the grape.
Manual selection of the bunches in the winery, eliminating those that do not meet the quality criteria. Pressing at low pressures -maximum yield 67%- with Inertys closed press, which enhances the fruity aromas thanks to the protection against oxidation during pressing. We are currently in trials with our own yeast and ferment in stainless steel tanks at 13-15ºC for 40-45 days. Very gentle fining to eliminate possible bitter notes and low sulphur content.
