This modern red wine from Mallorca is a blend of Callet, Montanegre-Fogonue and Syrah. The grapes are picked by hand and the fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, but after that the wine is allowed to mature for 12 months in oak barrels (70% French and 30% American). The results are impressive. A dark red color with a complex aroma of ripe red fruit and spiciness. The taste is intense and it contains some bay leaf. As in the first wine, the AN, it consists mainly of the typical grape varieties of Mallorca. The big difference with the first wine is mainly the addition of Syrah (15%) that was used to give this second wine a bit more structure.
We came across a nice statement about this wine in the Wine advocate: "This wine proves that holiday-goers in Mallorca should spend less time soaking up rays on the beach and more time seeking out its wines."
