Cap de Barbaria
The spirit of beautiful Formentera.
Founded in the year 2000, bodega Cap de Barbaria is located on the northern tip of the enchanting Balearic island of Formentera, not far from Cap de Barbaria, a 100-metre cliff overlooking the Mediterranean that is one of the island's geographical landmarks.
Situated in a dry and hot area, the vineyards of bodega Cap de Barbaria cover roughly 4.5 hectares, composed of different soil types and mostly planted with international and local red varieties. The international ones are Merlot - grown in sandy soils - and Cabernet Sauvignon -cultivated in limestone soils.- The local grapes are Monastrell, one of the great Mediterranean varieties, and Fogoneu, native to the Balearic archipelago. The only white variety is the indigenous Premsal Blanc.
Handpicked and fully destemmed, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature, after which they are macerated before going through malolactic fermentation. Then the wines of Cap de Barbaria are typically aged in French oak barrels.
The product portfolio of the Cap de Barbaria winery is comprised almost exclusively of red blends made under the IGP Formentera label. The winery's top-seller is the wine Ophiusa, made from the four red varieties. An impressive effort, the red wine Fomo 1 made from ungrafted centenary Monastrell vineyards and a dollop of Fogoneu. Finally, the exquisite sweet wine Cova Rosa is made solely from Premsal Blanc.
A boutique winery, the yearly production of bodega Cap de Barbaria is around 8,000 bottles.
