A “kilo” is old Spanish slang for one million Pesetas, Spain’s former currency. 4 Kilos founders Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Cabellero’s investment of 4 million Pesetas birthed this renowned winery. Their 2020 Callet, a grape grown exclusively in Mallorca, is balanced and delicate at 12 percent alcohol. It is highly aromatic, with rose petals, spices, and orange peel notes. The palate has a beautiful interplay of vivid red fruit and Mediterranean herbs with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. The tannins are long and fine; acidity is buoyant and carries through a persistent and fresh finish. This is reminiscent of a supple young red Burgundy.
