Here’s a fantastic new Mallorcan wine to try: Bocchoris 2009 by Tianna Negre Winery in Binissalem.

The grapes used to make this wine were manually selected and harvested in August 2009, two years ago this month.

Here are the wines tasting notes:

”A wine of intense garnet red colour with a deep robe. Well rounded aroma, with floral notes of violets, black fruit, and balsamic hints on a background of young barrel. In the mouth, this wine shows a good tannic structure, a full body, and a perfect balance between acidity and alcohol. Long finish with memories of liquorice and dark chocolate.”

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.
