MACIÀ BATLE COLLECCIO PRIVADA 2014

Nose: An intense wine with concentrated blackcurrant fruit, tobacco and spice notes from the oak

Palate: The palate is complex with layers of coffee, chocolate, liquorice and a core of black, plummy fruit and cassis enveloped in fine-grained tannins, which gives the wine structure, great length and ageing potential. Well-balanced acidity gives freshness on the finish too. An authentic Mallorcan red

Food Pairing: The rich character of this wine and layers of complexity mean that it will pair well with spiced rich foods. Why not drink with a Moroccan lamb dish with apricots or dates and handfuls of fresh coriander?

About the wine: A complex and characterful wine, truly expressive of the indigenous Mallorcan variety Manto Negro, blended with Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a unique label with each vintage - the 2014 is by Bernardi Roig. Produced from a rigorous selection of grapes from the oldest vines (around 40 years) with the lowest yields around the Santa Maria del Cami area. Fermented in stainless steel at around 24ºC. Aged in French oak for 18 months
