Anima Negra 'ÀN'

It has a characterful bouquet with macerated red cherries, sloes, orange peel and vanilla extract soaring from the glass – aromatics straining at the leash! The palate is medium-bodied with harmonious, lascivious red fruits laced with caramel and cloves. The finish is very harmonious and lush with chocolate and even nougat lingering on the aftertaste. This is another superb wine from Anima Negra.

MORE: This is a wine made from specific vineyards, whose character reflects several unique factors; the old callet vines (40 to 60 years old) that are only found in Mallorca; the poor soil with good mineral content (iron oxide) lying over calcareous rocks and the fact that the vine roots have to dig deep to compete with fruit trees planted amongst the vines. The wine artfully reveals all of these qualities.
