4 Kilos, The Island Syndicate, Majorca, Spain

4Kilos was set up in 2006 by winemaker Francesc 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. 

Using Majorca's indigenous grapes and a native yeast sourced from the now defunct co-operative winery, 'Es Sindicat', The Island Syndicate is Francesc's quest to create a wine that smelt like his childhood. The result brings aromas of Mediterranean herbs, cranberry and plums. Light, juicy, crunchy and incredibly drinkable.
