General Information
Can Axartell Tinto 2022 is a unique red wine crafted by the Can Axartell winery on the island of Mallorca, made from a blend of selected grapes including pinot noir, callet, manto negro, syrah, and merlot, sourced from their own vineyards planted on clay-limestone soils. A young and delightful red wine that showcases the freshness that Mallorca wines can embody.
The Can Axartell winery was established in 2013 with the aim of producing wines that express the Mallorcan winemaking tradition. Additionally, the winery, designed around the gravity method, has incorporated techniques and trends that reflect current tastes, working with local grape varieties alongside international ones, which coexist in a perfect ecosystem and produce interesting wines like this Can Axartell Tinto brought to you by the Club. Since the first vineyard was planted, the winery has 34 hectares of vineyards on the estate and 22 more spread across the island of Mallorca.
Can Axartell Tinto 2022 is a red wine classified under the I.G.P. Vi de la Terra Mallorca, perfectly pairing with all kinds of tapas, rice dishes, and any dish prepared with dried fruits such as raisins, dried apricots, prunes, or cranberries.
Tasting notes
Can Axartell Tinto displays a medium-intensity ruby red color, clear and bright.
On the nose, it is expressive, with a significant floral and fruity presence. Notes of blue flowers like violet are followed by aromas of candied red fruit, cherries, and raspberries. In the background, herbal hints and creamy touches (fresh cheese) can be perceived, set against a pastry backdrop.
On the palate, it is fresh, broad, with no sharp edges, and a strong fruit presence. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a pleasant, long finish.
The winery
Winery
Can Axartell is the perfect combination of tradition and modernity when it comes to Mallorcan viticulture. The estate, which includes vineyards, forests, mountains, and streams, was abandoned until the 1990s, when the first vineyards were planted under the principles of certified organic production.
The innovative and modern winery was built in 2012, with a philosophy that continues to this day: respect for the grape, the environment, the people who help produce it, and, of course, the people who enjoy these wines. Following this way of doing things, the first wines were bottled in 2013, and since then, the attention garnered by this Balearic island winery has steadily grown.
The Can Axartell winery produces a rosé wine, two white wines, three red wines, and a selection of limited-edition wines. These wines aim to be an expression of Mallorcan winemaking tradition while also representing the new changes being made in the production of these wines. For this reason, local grape varieties coexist with foreign ones in a perfect ecosystem.
With the idea of offering the utmost respect for the wine, it is treated in the best possible way. As a result, the winery was designed around the gravity method, meaning that the grapes and wine move exclusively by gravity.
In short, Can Axartell produces wines that are the perfect companion for meals, but their true perfection lies in their ability to reflect the soul of the island of Mallorca.
