Region of Spain: Mallorca

Producer: Panduro

Vintage: 2024

Vitigno: 70% Callet and 30% Mantonegro

A remarkable light red made from 70% Callet and 30% Mantonegro from an old vineyard on clay-limestone soils in Felanitx and Porreras, Mallorca. Fourteen days maceration of grapes fully destemmed with some whole bunches. Aged six months in 500L used French oak tonneaux, it’s a profound red, light, highly mineral, and brimming with Mediterranean garrigue spice.

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.
