2023 Panduro Mianes
WINEMAKER: Ibon Apezteguia & Henrik Falk
REGION: Mallorca, SP
VARIETY: Mantonegro, Callet
VITICULTURE: Organic
This rosé is made from 80% Mantonegro and 20% Callet grown on clay-limestone soils in Sineu and Petra, Mallorca. Two days skin contact for the Mantonegro and seven for the Callet, followed by six months of aging in 500L used French oak tonneaux. The result is a beautifully textured, saline rosé showing all the aromatic spices of Mediterranean garrigue.
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.
