New Son Prim Blanc de Merlot 2010

By SBMBlog on Saturday, April 30th, 2011 | No Comments

News: The new Son Prim Blanc de Merlot 2010 is now available to buy.

Jaime Llabres, the winemaker says: ‘Once again, we have worked hard to instill our wine with a unique character and characteristics, and so maximise its quality. This has resulted in what is, in our opinion, an exceedingly good wine.’

The Son Prim winery is located in Sencelles, Mallorca and has been producing wines since 2004.

Jaime Llabres explains how he produces the white Merlot: ‘ The process of pressing the grapes has to be very quick, but at the same time very soft so that the grapes aren’t spoilt too much. Afterwards, the must is separated from grape as quickly as possible.’ The result is a fresh wine with a golden rosé colour.

La Trencadora Restaurant in Pollensa is one of the newest restaurants to be added to the SkyBlue Mallorca Food & Wine Guide.

La Trencadora is for the whole family: a really cosy Italian trattoria & pizzeria.

Marco Gallina, the owner of Cantonet in Pollensa, took over this restaurant in 2010 – over 30 different pizzas, fresh pastas, gluten free options, organic produce and much more…the garden terrace is lovely too.

And here’s a snippet of interesting information for you: Did you know that the italian term ‘Trattoria’ comes from the italian word for ‘Tractor’, these traditionally rustic countryside eateries were named after the tractors punters would pull up in for their work day lunch!
