The typical Mallorcan soils of 'call vermell' (red clay with pebbles) leave their particular imprint on Tianna Vélonegre 2022, the latest vintage of one of the most attractive reds from Celler Tianna Negre, a prominent winery on the Balearic wine scene. Only 4000 bottles of this single-varietal from the native manto negro grape, organically grown, were produced, and perfected after a brief but successful aging of 7 months in French oak barrels. Broad, smooth, and with a pleasant Mediterranean style.

Tasting notes

The nose is dominated by floral and ripe plum aromas, accompanied by light notes of cinnamon.

The winery
Winery
A small inherited vineyard, planted with over 35-year-old manto negro vines in the Mallorcan municipality of Consell, is the origin of Celler Tianna Negre. In 2004, the Morey Garau family took a step further with the construction of the winery, which they inaugurated in 2007 with their first harvest.
Currently, the estate boasts 55 hectares of vineyards spread across seven properties in the regions of Binissalem and Consell. On its calcareous soils with pebbles and clay texture, it predominantly cultivates native grape varieties such as the aforementioned manto negro, callet, gorogollassa, prensal blanc, giró ros, and moscatell de Frontignac. Carefully worked with tradition and the utmost respect for their typicity and terroir of origin, the Morey Garau family crafts wines of remarkable elegance and modern focus, showcasing the potential of the Mallorcan wine scene.
