2023 Panduro Quarterada
WINEMAKER: Ibon Apezteguia & Henrik Falk
REGION: Mallorca, SP
VARIETY: Callet, Mantonegro
VITICULTURE: Organic
A remarkable light red made from 70% Callet and 30% Mantonegro from an old vineyard on clay-limestone soils in Felanitx and Porreras, Mallorca. Sixteen days maceration of grapes fully destemmed. Aged six months in 500L used French oak tonneaux, it’s a profound red, light, highly mineral, and brimming with Mediterranean garrigue spices.
Ibon, originally from the Basque Country, produces wines in both Murcia and Mallorca, beginning his winemaking journey as a “nomadic” winemaker, moving across various regions of the Mediterranean. In Mallorca, Ibon crafts his wines at Cati Ribot's cellar in Santa Margalida—a dynamic and inspirational space where five winemakers share resources and ideas: Panduro, Cati Ribot, Sistemi Vinari, Jaumet, and Cati’s employee. In 2021, Ibon took a significant step forward by purchasing his first vineyard, an old plot of callet and mantonegro near Felanitx in southeast Mallorca.
