Organic

4Kilos was set up in 2006 by former Anima Negra winemaker Francesc Grimalt and musician Sergio Caballero. Grimalt rescued the Balearic variety Callet and they also have small amounts of local variety Fogoneu. Taking grapes from north and south Mallorca they vinify them in a converted sheep farm using a combination of stainless steel and open top oak fermenters. The name 4 Kilos comes from their initial investment of 4 million pesetas, which so far looks like money well spent. They work in a very low-intervention style, using only low/no sulphur and they harvest earlier than most with the goal of making fresh, but complex, wines that speak of the island they’re from.

The nose is subtle and comforting, offering aromas of ripe apricot. On the palate, notes of pink grapefruit emerge immediately, lending remarkable freshness. The texture is rich and velvety, giving a long and delicious finish
