2021 Sistema Vinari Novetat Total (1L)

WINEMAKER: Eloi Cedó Perelló
REGION: Mallorca, SP
VARIETAL: Callet, Manto Negro
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

"A blend of young vines of Callet from Felantix and Manto Negro from Consell, along with a handful of other local varieties, planted over the island’s characteristic red clay soils. The grapes were mostly destemmed, with a small quantity of whole bunches in the mix, and macerated from anywhere between a week and a month before being pressed off to vats for six months of rest. The result is a delicate wine with a complex perfume of blackberries, red earth and wildflowers that marries wonderfully with the silky tannins and cascade of bitter herbs that follow. A litre of Mallorcan sunshine, this is simply as joyful and invigorating as wine gets." - Tutto

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 in the village of Santa Margalida.
