Wines & Provisions from the Pla de Mallorca

History

When we took over our finca in 2017 we discovered some very old, overgrown vines, some even climbing around wild olive trees. Initially, we hoped to revive them, but years of neglect made it impossible. Now, young olive and almond trees thrive there.

We were determined to bring winemaking back to our land, especially due to our location within the renowned Binissalem AOC. After extensive preparations, we planted 1.2 hectares of vines in the spring of 2021, choosing the indigenous Mantonegro and noble Merlot varieties.

The Vineyard

Can Cavall Blau is located where the "Raiguer" region meets the flat centre of the island, "Es Plà" (The Plains). Our vines flourish in the typical Mallorcan "Call Vermell" soil: rich in limestone, clay and minerals, it’s perfect for viticulture.

Despite its stony surface, this soil helps retain moisture, crucial for our organic farming methods, reducing reliance on irrigation and minimising water usage.

The Wines

Our exclusive wines are crafted with love, adhering to the highest quality standards, and produced in very limited quantities.

Today we produce two distinct wine lines: the natural wine "Es Gat Anarquista" and the traditionally produced "Blanc de Negre".

ES GAT ANARQUISTA

100% organic Merlot from our own vineyard
Selected Merlot grapes are harvested by hand in 15kg containers and then traditionally crushed by foot.
After standing for a day, the mash is gently pressed and transferred to a stainless steel fermentation tank. Here the sugar is fermented into alcohol without the addition of sulphur or cultured yeasts, using only the yeasts naturally growing on the grape skins. This natural fermentation process is a slow one and takes about six weeks.
The wine is then separated from the yeast and matured for 5 months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled by hand, unfiltered and without the use of pumps.
