If you are in search of a hidden organic vinous gem that won’t break the bank then you need look no further than this delicious, fruity, layered white wine from Mallorca.
Marrying the native grape Prensal Blanc with French varieties Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, this is quite a full-bodied style of wine that has no equivalent in the world of wine, let alone organic drinks, although its taste is reminiscent of the ripe whites of the northern Rhône.
Indeed, like great French whites made with Viognier, it combines a taste of stone fruit, especially apricot, with an appealing toasty finish – a result of the fact that Oliver Moragues lets the blend mature for a short period in new French oak.
