Ecológico
Produced by 4 Kilos Vinícola, probably the most exciting winery in beautiful Mallorca, the red wine 12 Volts is made from a blend of indigenous and international grapes.
The 2023 vintage of this Spanish red wine is made principally from the little-known native variety Fogoneu (55%), with lesser amounts of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. All are sourced from certified organic vineyards.
Carefully harvested and selected, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, this organic red wine from Mallorca was aged for 8 months in 3,000-litre oak vats and used French oak barrels. It was bottled in July 2024.
We suggest that you aerate the red wine 12 Volts 2023 30 minutes before drinking.
Pair this red wine from Mallorca with meat dishes.
