New wine at Bodega Tianna Negre

By SBMBlog on Tuesday, August 16th, 2011 | No Comments

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.”

You can visit this winery and try the wines, so find out more info here: Tianna Negre Winery Mallorca

Angel Wines receive international recognition

By SBMBlog on Friday, August 12th, 2011 | No Comments

Two wines by Angel Winery in Santa Maria Mallorca (One of the many Mallorca wineries featured on SkyBlue Mallorca Food & Wine Guide) have been awarded medals at the prestigious Los Angeles International Wine Competition.

The white Angel Blanc de Blanca 2010 was awarded silver medal in the Spanish white wine category and the rosé Angel Lau Rosa 2010 was awarded bronza medal in the Spanish rosé wine category – Both great recognition for this Mallorca wine estate.

We highly recommend trying these two award winning months, especially in the heat of the Mallorcan summer! We can assure you that they go down very well, especially when accompanied by a Mallorcan sunset and a beautiful Mallorcan sea view!

White and Rose wines for the summer

By SBMBlog on Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 | No Comments

More and more wine estates here on the island are producing very nice white and rosé wines – ideal when chilled during these hot summer days.

We went to see Pilar at Miquel Oliver in Petra.  Award-winning Miquel Oliver Vinyes i Bodegues has been producing wines to sell to the public since it opened in 1912 under the direction of Melchor Oliver. Pilar Oliver, the fourth generation of this winemaking family, aims to continue producing surprising and daring wines year after year in Petra.

We highly recommend the white Muscat and the new Alegria Rosé (pictured). Alegria means JOY which we think is a great name for this happy, easy to drink, summery wine!
