A handcrafted process, with attention to every detail
The quality of our wines begins in the vineyard. Bodega Sa Cabana’s grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring that only the bunches at optimum ripeness reach our facilities. To preserve their freshness to the maximum, we transport them in 12-kilo boxes and keep them in cold storage for a minimum of twelve hours. This process prevents unwanted oxidation and ensures that each berry retains its unique character.
After careful destemming, the grapes are transferred to tanks for fermentation, where each variety begins to reveal its personality.
At Bodega Sa Cabana we believe that good wine is not rushed. Our red wines rest the necessary time in the cellar, without clarifying or filtering, refining naturally until they reach their maximum expression. Finally, they are bottled, where they rest patiently, waiting for the perfect moment to be enjoyed.
Merlot: elegance and structure in every glass
Bodega Sa Cabana’s Merlot captivates from the first glance with its mahogany red color, garnet reflections and an impeccable brightness that speaks of its purity. On the nose, it displays subtle and elegant aromas, where ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and blueberries, intertwine with toasted notes from its barrel aging. On the palate, it offers a dry, silky and enveloping attack, with a defined structure and marked tannins that make it memorable.
A vineyard with history
This Merlot comes from a plot of 20-year-old vineyards, carefully cultivated to guarantee the best quality grapes. The grapes are harvested completely by hand, carefully selecting the bunches in 12 kg boxes. Subsequently, the grapes are stored in chambers at 4 ºC for 24 hours to preserve their aromas and avoid premature oxidation.
Elaboration process
After a total destemming, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where they are pumped over to extract the maximum aromas and flavors present in the skins. The final touch is provided by its aging: six months in 500-liter French oak barrels, second and third use, which give it its complex and balanced character.
This Merlot is ideal to accompany intense stews, roasted meats and aged cheeses, bringing warmth and sophistication to any winter experience.
Callet: Mallorcan freshness and balance
Bodega Sa Cabana’s Callet stands out for its vibrant purple-red color with violet hues, clean and bright, evoking its young and fresh character. The nose is dominated by black fruit, with notes such as plum that add depth and natural sweetness. On the palate, the attack is dry and fresh, perfectly balanced, with a pleasant tannin that makes it easy to enjoy and versatile for pairing.
The potential of a young vineyard
This wine comes from a vineyard in its second vintage, which highlights the freshness and vitality of the grapes. Manual harvesting ensures a precise selection of the bunches, which are transported in 12 kg crates to maintain their integrity. The grapes are then stored in refrigerated chambers at 4ºC for 24 hours, an essential step to preserve their aromas and avoid undesirable oxidation.
A process that respects the grape's character
After total destemming, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, where carefully pumping over extracts the unique aromas and flavors of the skins, enhancing the expression of this indigenous grape variety.
Callet is the perfect companion to light dishes such as mellow rice dishes, poultry or even fatty fish. Its freshness and balance make it an ideal choice for the cold months, offering a warm nod to winter with every sip.
Manto Negro: freshness and lightness with Mallorcan character
Bodega Sa Cabana’s Manto Negro presents a pale red color, with burgundy highlights that add a subtle sophistication. Its impeccable brightness is a sign of its purity and youth. On the nose, it is notable for its fresh red fruit aromas, such as cherry, which provide a vibrant, fruity sensation. On the palate, the attack is dry, fresh and light, with a harmony that makes it an easy to enjoy and versatile wine for a variety of occasions.
Young vineyard, promise of quality
This wine comes from a young vineyard that is in its first stage of production, which gives it a characteristic freshness. The manual harvest, carried out in 12 kg boxes, guarantees a careful selection of the bunches. After harvesting, the grapes are stored in refrigerated chambers at 4 ºC for 24 hours to preserve their fresh aromas and avoid any early oxidation.
Respectful and natural processing
After a total destemming, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, where they are pumped over to extract the maximum aromas and flavors from the skins. This process brings out the purest expression of Manto Negro, preserving the freshness and lightness that define this native Mallorcan grape variety.
Manto Negro is ideal to accompany grilled fish dishes, fresh salads or even light pasta dishes. Its fresh and harmonious character makes it a perfect choice for cold winter days, bringing a sense of warmth with its lightness and liveliness.
