Eloi Cedo is one of the most influential winemakers on the island of Mallorca. Hailing from Tarragona, he worked in Priorat and Chile before moving to Mallorca to work at 4kilos. His personal project, Sistema Vinari began in 2012 with the cuvee Chateau Pqta, an homage and tribute to his late mother Paquita.

Farming small plots dotted around the island, he works with local varieties, Callet, Manto Negro and Fogoneu which grow on the red, iron rich clay soils known locally as Call Vermell. Eloi farms organically with biodynamic practises and in the cellar works without additions and a deft touch. In 2019 he moved into the cellars of friend Cati Ribot (Ve d’Avior) in the village of Santa Margalida. Together they collaborate to produce Lo Vilero, Callet from Eloi, Escursac from Cati.
