Cati Ribot Son Llebre Negre 2023

Ve D'Avior are the wines of Cati Ribot from the island of Mallorca in Spain, a new and exciting project that has slowly come to be over the past decade and a half. Cati is the third generation of her family to farm in the north east corner of the island and she has made the conscious decision to use the indigenous varieties of the area, farmed ethically and sustainably as opposed to the international varieties of those before her

Escursac, Callet and Callet Negrella from a single name-sake vineyard grown on Cal Vermell (the local iron-rich clay-calcareous) soils. Fermentations are in a mix of steel vat and amphora and carried out whole berry with 30-40 day maceration. The wine rests in 4th use 500-liter barrel for 4 months and a further 2 months in steel before being bottled without any added sulfur (at any moment in the process), stabilization or filtration.
