Binissalem-Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Nose has dried pear, under-ripe peach, wet slate, cold wax and distant petrol.
Palate has dried pear, dried pineapple with fading acidity.
Still enjoyable, in a different spot than our prior bottle a few years back.
I believe the blend to be 60% Callet / 30% Prensal / 10% Muscat-Giro. All fruit from sunny Mallorca!

It's from Mallorca (Majorca). one of Spain's Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. It's known for beach resorts, sheltered coves, and real tasty wine. #islandwine #Mallorca

Mar 11th, 2018On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon, for Andris Nelsons conducting the BSO in a world-premiere John Williams string moment, then Tchaikovsky and Berlioz. On violin today is the amazing, and beautiful, Anne-Sophie Mutter.
Today's theme ending up being 'island' wines, it's just how the cards managed to fall. I'm headed in my mind, and now my glass, to the beautiful eastern Spanish island of Mallorca. This wine is a blend of Premsal and Callet grapes fermented in cement vats and stainless steel tanks. Light green-yellow in color. Aroma and palate are peach (white?), pear and some delicate flora passing by; good warm afternoon wine. Wish I had a big pile of steamed mussels and drawn butter, or flaky white fish 🐟!

Dried pineapple, lemon meringue with a slate finish. Good acidity.

Jul 9th, 2020Crisp, bright, very unusual white wine made with 2 red varieties (Callet and Giro Ros) and Premsal, a white variety indigenous to Mallorca. Not very expressive nose, with hints of tropical fruit and maybe hay. Citrus, unripe pear and some salinity and almost fizzy finish. High acidity.
