Macia Batle Tinto Crianza 1856

A Mallorcan red wine with real backbone: The Macia Batle Tinto Crianza 1856 shows what the island has to offer vinologically beyond beach romance.

The Macia Batle winery is located in the heart of Mallorca, in the DO Binissalem wine region. The 1856 in its name refers to the winery's founding – one of the oldest and most renowned estates on the island. They work with local and international grape varieties that thrive in the Mediterranean climate. After temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures for 10 months in French and American oak barrels , followed by a further 14 months in the bottle.

In the glass, it displays a rich, deep purple-red color. The nose opens with ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries, followed by vanilla and a spicy, slightly smoky oak note. On the palate, it fills the mouth pleasantly: balsamic spice, gently integrated tannins, and a long finish with a subtle smoky note.
