Vivino ratings
Tasting notes
A lifted peach and almond nose, with hints of tropical fruit, honey and pineapple on the palate. Very approachable with good concentration and a complex, textural character. Candied lemon acidity is balanced by a long, creamy finish with spicy undertones.
Food match
Especially suited to an aperitif or to accompany salads, soft cheeses, seafood and fish.

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.
