A complex and characterful wine, truly expressive of the indigenous Mallorcan variety Manto Negro, blended with Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a unique label with each vintage.
Production
Produced from a rigorous selection of grapes from the oldest vines (around 40 years) with the lowest yields around the Santa Maria del Cami area. Fermented in stainless steel at around 24ºC. Aged in French oak for 18 months.

Tasting notes
An intense wine with concentrated blackcurrant fruit, tobacco and spice notes from the oak. The palate is complex with layers of coffee, chocolate, liquorice and a core of black, plummy fruit and cassis enveloped in fine-grained tannins, which gives the wine structure and great length. Well-balanced acidity gives freshness on the finish too. An authentic Mallorcan red, this has aged well and is showing appealing development.
Food match
The rich character of this wine and layers of complexity mean that it will pair well with spiced rich foods. Why not drink with a Moroccan lamb dish with apricots or dates and handfuls of fresh corriander?

Meet the producer
Mallorca’s second largest producer, Macia Batle is also responsible for some of the island's most interesting and rewarding wines. They have 50 hectares of estate vineyards, where they source local varieties, supplemented by a little Cabernet and Chardonnay. The staple variety is Manto Negro, generally used for ripe, gently spicy reds for drinking young, but also adapts itself well to ripe, full flavoured rosados. Good sites and old vines yield wines of real substance and individuality.
