• Fermança Negre Crianza
  is a wine born out of respect for the land and crafted through a meticulous winemaking process that preserves the essence of each variety. The process begins with a rigorous double selection: first in the vineyard, where only the best bunches are hand-harvested, and then in the winery, where a second sorting ensures flawless quality.
• Once selected, the Syrah, Callet and Gargollassa grapes are vinified separately, allowing each variety to express its full character. Before fermentation, the grapes are cooled to 3 °C, enabling precise temperature control from the start and preserving the most delicate aromas.
• The grapes are not crushed, so the skins remain intact, favouring a gentle, respectful extraction. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures with gentle pump-overs, aiming to extract fine tannins and fresh aromas.

• After fermentation, each variety is transferred to French oak barrels of 225 and 500 litres, where the wine matures for a minimum of 12 months. The larger barrels allow for slower, more balanced micro-oxygenation, preserving the fruit and adding complexity without masking the varietal identity.
• Callet,
  with its delicate and earthy profile, adds elegance and freshness.
• Gargollassa,
  floral and structured, provides depth and uniqueness.
• Syrah,
  with its ripe fruit and rounded tannins, completes the blend with body and harmony.
• The result is a balanced red with a true Mallorcan soul, combining tradition, innovation and deep respect for the grape varieties that make it unique.

Tasting Notes

• Fermança Negre Crianza presents a deep cherry-red colour with garnet highlights, a sign of its barrel ageing and slow evolution.
• On the nose, it opens gradually, revealing a complex, enveloping bouquet: first come aromas of ripe black fruit — plums and blackberries — followed by subtle notes of sweet spices, cocoa and a refreshing balsamic undertone.
• As it breathes, the distinctive traits of its varieties emerge:
• Callet
  adds a delicate rusticity, with earthy, forest-floor nuances.
• Gargollassa,
  more floral and refined, contributes aromas of violets and Mediterranean herbs.
• Syrah
  rounds out the blend with juicy fruit and a hint of liquorice.
• On the palate, the wine is structured yet fluid, with polished tannins and balanced acidity that provide energy and length. The use of 500L barrels is reflected in a silky texture and subtle toasted notes that complement without dominating. The finish is long and elegant, with echoes of ripe fruit, soft spices and a minerality that speaks of its island origin.

Food Pairing

• With its aromatic complexity, polished tannins and gentle spiced undertones, Fermança Negre Crianza finds its finest expression when paired with traditional Mallorcan dishes full of depth and flavour.
• One of the most evocative pairings is with tumbet and roast lamb. The juiciness of the meat and the sweetness of the roasted vegetables blend beautifully with the wine’s ripe fruit and subtle oak, while its natural acidity balances the richness of the dish and enhances each layer of flavour.
• Another perfect match is porcella rostida (roast suckling pig), a classic of Mallorcan celebrations. Its crispy skin and tender meat pair wonderfully with the wine’s barrel ageing: Callet and Gargollassa bring freshness and elegance, while Syrah provides the body and roundness to complete the pairing.
• For a more rustic, seasonal option, frit de matances — a traditional sauté of meat, liver, potatoes and vegetables prepared during the pig slaughter season — becomes an intense gastronomic experience with Fermança Negre. Its spiced notes and balsamic finish harmonise with the dish’s deep flavours while keeping the varietal identity that makes it so distinctly Mallorcan.
