Region of Spain: Mallorca

Producer: Panduro

Vintage: 2022

Vitigno: Monastrell

A red made from 95% Monastrell and other ancient local varieties from an old vineyard on limestone soils in Valle Hoya de Torres, Jumilla at 800m altitude. Sixteen days maceration with mostly destemmed grapes. Aged six months in 500L used French oak tonneaux, it’s a light to medium body red, dark fruited, highly mineral and with a lovely tannin structure.

Originally from the Basque Country, Ibon began his winemaking journey in a restless, almost nomadic way, moving across Mediterranean regions rather than settling in one spot. Today his work spans both Mallorca and Murcia. A major turning point came in 2021, when he purchased his first vineyard, an old planting of callet and mantonegro near Felanitx, in the southeast of Mallorca.
In Jumilla, he works with mature monastrell vines and other local varieties in the Valle Hoya de Torres, using a similarly communal cellar located close to the vineyards.
