Red Wine Sòtil 2022
Availability: In stock
Bearing the VT Mallorca label, the exquisite red wine Sòtil is produced by the Mesquida Mora winery.
A varietal Callet, this Spanish red wine showcases the remarkable qualities of Mallorca's most important indigenous red grape.
The grapes are farmed following biodynamic principles and the traditional almanac lunar cycle. Certified organic, the vineyard has a vegetal cover which helps to protect the plants. The vines are also fertilized by natural mulches from the area containing native minerals. This biodynamic fertilizer is also infused with medical herbs to help boost the strength of the roots.
The harvest was carried out by hand. After that, this red wine from Mallorca was macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After completing malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, the red wine Sòtil 2022 was aged for 10 months in 500-litre French oak barrels.
This Crianza red wine was bottled in June 2023.
About 3,000 bottles produced.
| Appearance | The red wine Sòtil is pale ruby with a reddish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Callet is really subtle and refined. Nuanced aromas of wild berries, pomegranate juice and violets, with a pinch of cinnamon, citrus fennel and sandalwood, and some enticing tips of liquorice over a dimly mineral background. |
| Palate | Fresh and fluid, with great flair and sophistication. This wine from bodega Mesquida Mora has some slim tannins, a superbly elegant texture and a refined acidity. Layered and focused, it has a long finish, with an aftertaste of flowers, spices, and an earthy note. |
| Our personal opinion | The excellent Sòtil 2022 spearheads the new wave of Majorcan wines, which aim to express the great potential of the island's native grapes. |
