Located on Mallorca’s central plateau, Binissalem is a named Denominacio D’Origen (DO) that produces excellent wines. Red wines make up about 75% of Binissalem production. This one (blended from 60% Mantonegro, 18% Merlot, 11% Cabernet, 6% Monastrell, and 5% Callet) has an earthy potting soil and mushroom nose and a tinned cranberry and red cherry body. It is light and refreshing, especially for a red. The terroir shows wonderfully and I could enjoy this with a light appetizer or served slightly chilled on a hot summer day.
