Celler Sebastià Pastor

Outstanding family-​run winery. Celler Sebastià Pastor is committed to the local Mantonegro and Premsal Blanc varieties since they give the wine a Majorcan essence. After sampling their Crianza and Negre we chose to buy the Encobeit. Encobeït is a Majorcan word for welcome with love.
Encobeit: 15% alcohol made from the indigenous variety Mantonegro of vines over 40 years. Harvesting is done by hand selecting the best grapes. The fermentation takes place at 28 ° C for 20 days. Aged in French oak barrels of fine grain for 6 months.
Nose: varietal aromas predominate; candied red fruits, floral notes (rose) and hints of toffee.
Palate: Smooth entry, satiny with ripe tannins. Mineral notes marked by the terroir are appreciated. It highlights its long persistence in the mouth that continues to remind primary flavors: candied red fruit.
Local villagers came in with their empty bottles and jugs and got them filled for about 2 Euros per liter. One lady came with an empty 2 liter Coke plastic bottle. Love the local color of these places. Wish I lived down the street.
