4 Kilos 2019 Mallorca 4 Kilos Red 750ml

 The garagiste operation sources grapes from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards in northern and southern Mallorca. This, their flagship wine, is 20-45 year old callet vines, indigenous to the island, from various organically farmed plots, each native fermented separately and aged in a mix of stainless and 600L French barrels. This serious, striking red rings with minerality, the precision of which sculpts the graceful wild plum, iris, herbal scrub scenting the medium (12% palate). Tannins are long and fine, and acidity is buoyant, carrying this through a haunting, saline finish. This charmer carries that magic quality of intensity x lightness of being. Drinking beautifully now, and with time ahead.
