4Kilos was set up in 2006 by winemaker Frances Grimalt (known for his efforts in rescuing the local Callet grape which is featured in this wine) and musician Sergio Caballero (who is also founding partner and director of the Sonar electronic music and arts festival in Barcelona). Their first vintage was vinified in a milk refrigeration unit but are now working out of a converted sheep farm, using a combination of stainless steel and open top oak fermenters. They use local grape varieties from both the north and south of Mallorca as well as international varieties.
Frances and Sergio teamed up with their pal, Nacho 'Pistacho' Martinéz to make the Moteur Pistache, made from a mix of red and white grapes sourced from different vineyards across the island, this vibrant rosé is more like a light beaujolais with a twist of herbs and spices amongst the juicy fruit. Hand-picked, Cold macerated, fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, aged in oak for 9 months and without any added sulphur!
