Creators' opinion
Not every year does this very special wine come to light, only in vintages that at the end of their aging process offer a unique, different wine of exceptional quality. Sourced from the oldest vineyards of Ànima Negra and born from the collaboration with the painter and friend of the winery, Miquel Barceló, it is a wine that transports you to the climate, the surroundings, and the Mediterranean roots that envelop this winery.
The winery
Winery
The Ànima Negra winery is the story of two friends from Mallorca (Miguel Ángel Cerdá and Peré Obrador) who, in 1994, embarked on the foundation of a personal project with the determination to produce high-quality wines using the island's native grape varieties. To achieve this, they transformed a dairy into the space dedicated to winemaking.
Today, Ànima Negra is a benchmark for authentic, personal, and high-quality wines on the island of Mallorca. Their wines now go beyond the borders of the Balearic island, being exported to more than 40 countries worldwide.
Located in the southeast of the island, the winery produces its wines in the old ‘possessió’ of Son Burguera, near the town of Felanitx. The first production took place in this historic building, and from there, the facilities were improved to craft high-quality wines.
They have a vineyard made up of around 150 micro-plots located around the winery, with the exception of 5 vineyards in the western part of Mallorca. They primarily grow old vines of callet, mantonegro, fogoneu, premsali blanc, and giró ros on various types of soil. Later, the grapes are harvested manually.
Ànima Negra's goal is to create genuine wines with a personality that reflects the land where they are made, without artifice, while recovering the island's grape varieties. As they aptly state, “We must carry out oenology in the field, and the winery should only be a temple for preserving the authenticity of the relationship between the plant, the soil, and the climate.”
