Grape Varieties: 40% Manto Negro, 35% Syrah and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvested in small boxes of 10-12kg. The grapes are selected by hand and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks of 1000 and 2000 gallons. After 20-25 days of maceration, the malolactic fermentation takes place in cement tanks, the other part in wooden barrels. Aged 14 months in medium toasted oak barrels. 90% French origin and 10% American. 75% of which are new and 25% second use. Alcohol content: 15%. The nose on this was like fresh crushed fruit, giving way to a mouth that was full and lingering on the palate. The price was under $15 and it is a shame we cannot get this in the US.

Hundreds of hectares provide the Majorcan wineries with Denomination of Origin labels. The best known winemaking region is categorized as D.O. Binissalem, comprising the municipalities of Binissalem, Consell, Santa Maria del Camí, Santa Eugènia and Sencelles. These lands have been producing excellent harvests of local grapes for more than five centuries. Bodegas Macià Batle is located in Santa María del Camí (Majorca) and contains the latest facilities and developed 70 hectares of vineyards. They provide tastings and a winery tour. We tasted the reserve tinto, the crianza and the rosé. The clear winner was the 2012 Crianza at 11 Euros per bottle. It is a blend of 50% Manto Negro and 20/20/10 Cabernet/Syrah/Merlot, with 10 months in barrel, and then 14 in bottle. It is 14% alcohol, showed more legs than any other wine on the island. Harvesting takes place in late September based on a selection of 25-year-old vineyards in the Binissalem - Majorca D.O. The grapes are harvested by hand, selecting the clusters with the smallest fruits. It has an intense cherry red with brick red reflections. Ripe red fruit nose with spices such as clove and pepper. On the palate, it is potent and flavorful with an intense aroma. Smooth tannins well-blended with wood, although the smoothness on the palate would improve after another year in the bottle, we enjoyed many bottles of this during our time in Spain. Great value wine.

This process gave the Cup a wonderfully complex mouth without the extra tannins that we experienced with the other two wines. Cup is acknowledged by the owner as their effort to provide a ready to drink wine while still maintaining the other wines for their aging potential. Llabres is to be applauded for his product balance.

After sampling their Crianza and Negre we chose to buy the Encobeit. Encobeït is a Majorcan word for welcome with love. Encobeit: 15% alcohol made from the indigenous variety Mantonegro of vines over 40 years. Harvesting is done by hand selecting the best grapes. The fermentation takes place at 28 ° C for 20 days. Aged in French oak barrels of fine grain for 6 months. Nose: varietal aromas predominate; candied red fruits, floral notes (rose) and hints of toffee. Palate: Smooth entry, satiny with ripe tannins. Mineral notes marked by the terroir are appreciated. It highlights its long persistence in the mouth that continues to remind primary flavors: candied red fruit. Local villagers came in with their empty bottles and jugs and got them filled for about 2 Euros per liter. One lady came with an empty 2 liter Coke plastic bottle.

It was during a visit to Mallorca in the 1990s that the German pharmacist, Dr. Michael Popp, saw…read morethis very romantic winery in the Tramuntana mountains. He rebuilt the existing agricultural building into an exclusive winery with modern winemaking technology. The entire property covers an area of about 16 hectares, which is largely divided by 500-year-old dry stone walls. It is one of the most beautiful sites for a winery that we have seen in our visits to over 200 wineries. The hospitality of the staff is awesome. For a visitor to be pampered while enjoying the views - this place gets 6 stars. They seat you in a patio area that overlooks the valley. They immediately start pouring their offerings along with local culinary items of meat, cheese and bread. The cost is negligible and the service is passionate. With the above as the setting, we were plenty disappointed to discover that the wines are made in a very Old World style - High tannins, heavily oaked and not ready to drink. We really tried to like the Cabernet Sauvignon, "Stairway" rosato, Monte Sion (Syrah/Cab), Shiraz and the Cava. Since we really didn't have the right palate for the wines, we thought that the Cava (sparkling) would at least give us a chance to buy a bottle before leaving such wonderful facilities and energetic staff. Sadly, even the Cava was too hard on our palates. These wines are made for European palates which are raised on this style of winemaking. .This is a very worthy place to visit, but we purchased wines at six other wineries on this day and none of the Castell Miguel wines were to our liking.
