An icon in the world of Mallorcan wine. Since Miquel Àngel Cerdá & Pere Obrador established the estate in 1994 it has been a key player in the international understanding of the World-class wines the island is capable of producing.
The two friends decided that the wines of their native Mallorca weren’t reaching their full potential. Their initial results were so encouraging that they decided to form a partnership and continue pursuing their newly found passion for wine.
Natural farming is prioritized at Ànima Negra. The vines are dry-farmed and not fertilized, chemical insecticides and herbicides being avoided in favour of biodynamic practices and a preference for indigenous yeasts. They produce their wines on the old country estate of Son Burguera, the buildings dating back to the 13th century.
Ànima Negra ÀN 2021
It's ashy and balsamic, spicy (clove), toasty and smoky, with hints of incense, but it wants to show the floral quality of the Callet. Mellow acidity.
