S Vins is the personal project of veteran Mallorcan winemaker Carlos Rodriguez Furthmann. His small winery is located in the Sierra Norte region of Mallorca. His artisan wines are created using minimum manipulation. He also prioritises the use of indigenous grape varieties.
S Vins P Castaño is created using a native Mallorcan grape variety. The grapes have been harvested from a vineyard in Manacor. The wine has been aged for three months in new 400 litre chestnut barrels from the forests of Montseny.
Carlos was the first winemaker in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands to create a wine through spontaneous fermentation, using a local grape variety, minimal intervention, and ageing in chestnut barrels.
Nothing is added to this wine apart from a small amount of sulphites. It is not clarified or filtered.
Production: 1060 bottles.
TASTING NOTES
- Palate: Ripe pear, raw chestnuts, aniseed, and almonds come to mind when tasting this wine. It is saline, creamy, and intense.
- Pairing: Tuna, suckling pig, trout, mackerel, red mullet, entrecote, grilled rabbit, chestnut purée, rabbit with onion, risotto, partridge, quail, tumbet, and lentil salad... used with creativity and imagination.
