Variety: Callet, Negrella and Escursac

Cati is an anomaly in the world of natural wine. Not only is she one of two female winemakers on the island of Mallorca, she is also just one of three natural winemakers in a place where winemaking is difficult. While many use the international varieties like Cabernet and Syrah to make their wines noticed by the world, Cati made a firm decision to use indignenous varieties that are lighter in style, reflecting the terroir of Mallorca. It shows just how focused Cati is as she not only is a single mother with a winery to run, additionally she flew back and forth from Barcelona to Mallorca daily while training as a somm. Her work ethic is unparalleled.

From Cati’s home base in Margalida in Mallorca, she makes this light-bodied red with native varieties. The wine is fermented in both steel and amphora with a bit of whole cluster, then the wine rests in neutral French barrels and steel. The wine stands up incredibly well after being open for a few days.
