The Gargollassa and Syrah varieties are particularly Mediterranean in character, as is the influence of the alluvial and calcareous soils of the Son Fortesa estate, which is located on the slopes of the Sierra de Tramuntana, in Alar\u00f3 (Mallorca).
\nThe Gargollassa variety is the result of two decades of experimentation and hard work to recover a native Mallorcan variety that was, inexplicably, on the verge of extinction. Old documents, including the famous compilation by Archduke Luis Salvador, describe it as one of the most recommended varieties for the production of quality wines. In 1998, Bodega Ribas found the last 3 specimens left on the island. In 2004, the Flux\u00e0 Family decided to collaborate in the recovery of this variety and 2,500 vines were grafted onto the Son Fortesa estate.<\/p>\n
Grape varieties: Gargollassa, Syrah
\nAging: 12 months in barrels: 100% French oak, 500L (Gargollassa) and 225L (Syrah). Barrels from 1st, 2nd and 3rd year.<\/p>\n
PRODUCTION
\nManual harvest. Grain by grain selection at the table, where the quality of the grapes is controlled. Fermentation then takes place at moderate temperatures between 25 and 27\u00baC to extract the primary aromas of red fruit from the Gargollassa and the soft, round tannins from the Syrah. Subsequent aging in barrels for 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
