Product Description
Details
A wine that solds out really quickly after being released, Gallinas & Focas is also a worthy charity effort.
This original Spanish red wine is the result of the collaboration between the 4kilos winery, based in beautiful Mallorca, and Fundació Amadip Esment, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improve the quality of life of intellectually disabled people.
The 2020 vintage of this red wine from Mallorca is a varietal Manto Negro, a native Majorcan variety sourced from 25-year-old certified organic vineyards planted in clay-limestone soils.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were destemmed and macerated for 25 days. This organic red wine fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then it went through malolactic fermentation in Allier oak barrels.
After that, the red wine Gallinas & Focas 2020 aged for 12 months in the barrels and for another 6 months in 4,000-litre French oak vats
Finally, this Crianza red wine was kept for a minimum of 6 months in the bottle before hitting the market.
