Bodega Mesquida Mora
Description
Data of interest
Bodega Mesquida Mora is a young Mallorcan winery born from the passion for wine of philologist and winemaker Bárbara Mesquida Mora. Although it was founded in 2012, the winery, based in the town of Porreres, is the heir to an important family winemaking tradition that dates back to 1945. It was in that year when her grandfather, a modest farmer cultivating apricots and vineyards on his small lands, decided to start producing his own wine due to the low prices he received for selling his grapes.
Bárbara's father inherited the company, which, under the name Jaume Mesquida, gained great prominence on the island, being a pioneer in introducing foreign varieties such as cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and syrah. Between 2004 and 2012, the young winemaker worked intensively in the family business until she decided to venture out on her own.
Mesquida Mora builds its project on respecting the family wine heritage of its founder and owner, starting with the choice of the winery's name, taken from her paternal and maternal surnames, and on 20 hectares of biodynamic vineyard. A significant part of this vineyard is made up of old vines over 40 years of age of those foreign varieties, while the rest consists of native varieties such as prensal, giró (or garnacha), callet, and manto negro. With all these, the winery produces wines under the protected geographical indication of V.T. Mallorca, aiming to express their full potential: three reds, two whites, and two rosés that stand out for their vibrancy and truly appealing authenticity.
