Bodega Biniagual

Outstanding regional wines. This was the best line-​up of wines in the Binissalem region of Mallorca. The Veran Finca Biniagual 2010 was superb. Grape Varieties: 40% Manto Negro, 35% Syrah and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvested in small boxes of 10−12kg. The grapes are selected by hand and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks of 1000 and 2000 gallons. After 20 – 25 days of maceration, the malolactic fermentation takes place in cement tanks, the other part in wooden barrels. Aged 14 months in medium toasted oak barrels. 90% French origin and 10% American. 75% of which are new and 25% second use. Alcohol content: 15%. The nose on this was like fresh crushed fruit, giving way to a mouth that was full and lingering on the palate. The price was under $ 15 and it is a shame we cannot get this in the US.
