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

"​​A blend of young vines of Callet, Manto Negro and Fogoneu from Felantix planted over the island’s characteristic red clay soils. Harvested by parcel over several weeks, the grapes were mostly destemmed, with around a third of whole bunches, and macerated from anywhere between a week and a month before being pressed off to vats for six months. The result is a delicate wine with a perfume of red earth, berries and brine, which marries wonderfully with the silky tannins and cascade of bitter herbs that follow." - 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.
