• Sa Mel·lera
  is a limited-edition wine created to capture the purest essence of Merlot grown in the heart of the Mediterranean. Produced exclusively from grapes of a single, carefully selected parcel, this wine is an intimate and profound interpretation of the variety — designed for those who appreciate Merlot in all its dimensions: its fruit, texture, elegance, and ability to stir emotion.
• It is made only in exceptional vintages, when the climate allows for slow, balanced ripening and the grapes reach their maximum expression. The parcel, planted on limestone marès rock soils, yields a very limited but exceptionally high-quality harvest. A rigorous green harvest is carried out, leaving less than 1.5 kg of grapes per vine, ensuring a natural concentration of aromas, colour, and structure.
• Harvest is carried out manually, with a double selection process: first in the vineyard and then in the winery, where each grape is individually checked by hand. The grapes are not crushed, allowing the skins to remain intact during fermentation and ensuring a gentle, respectful extraction.

• Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 25–28 °C, with extended maceration of up to 5–6 weeks to extract the full aromatic and structural potential of Merlot while preserving its natural elegance.
• Aging takes place in 225L French oak barrels for 12–18 months (depending on the vintage). This format allows for slow, balanced development, respecting the fruit and adding complexity without overwhelming the wine.
• The result is a deep, silky red with a pure varietal expression, showing Merlot at its most Mediterranean: ripe, enveloping, with notes of black fruit, gentle spices, and a mineral backbone that speaks of the marès rock soils where it was born.

Tasting Notes

• Sa Mel·lera displays an intense ruby-red colour with violet hues, signalling both its youth and its potential for evolution.
• From the very first moment, its aroma reveals the nobility of Mediterranean Merlot: a burst of ripe black fruit — plums, blackberries, and cherries in liqueur — wrapped in delicate notes of sweet spices, fine cocoa, and a subtle background of aromatic herbs evoking the estate’s natural surroundings.
• On the nose, it is deep and enveloping yet precise. Aging in 225L French oak barrels adds hints of vanilla, cedar, and light toast without masking the grape’s expression. Fruit remains the protagonist, enriched by the complexity that only time and care can bring.
• On the palate, the wine is silky, broad, and structured, with ripe, polished tannins that coat the mouth without aggressiveness. The acidity is perfectly integrated, providing freshness and balance. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, with echoes of ripe fruit, gentle spices, and a distinctive mineral note that speaks of the marès rock soils where it is grown.
• Sa Mel·lera is not just another Merlot. It is a unique interpretation, born from a single parcel, made only in exceptional vintages, and designed for those seeking wines with soul, depth, and a strong sense of place — a true collector’s red that celebrates the versatility and nobility of Merlot in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Food Pairing

• With its elegant structure, polished tannins, and ripe black fruit notes, Sa Mel·lera is best enjoyed with Mallorcan dishes of intense flavour and careful preparation, which respect its complexity and enhance its varietal character.
• A remarkable pairing is conill amb ceba (rabbit with onions), a traditional stew where tender meat and the sweetness of caramelised onions blend beautifully with the wine’s ripe fruit and spiced notes. The French oak aging provides a subtle toastiness that harmonises with the dish without overpowering it.
• It is also ideal with slow-roasted lamb shoulder with Mallorcan herbs — rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf — evoking the Mediterranean landscape surrounding the vineyards. With its silky texture and mineral backbone, Sa Mel·lera elegantly balances the lamb’s richness with freshness and depth.
• For a festive option, arròs brut, a hearty Mallorcan rice stew with meat, mushrooms, and spices, offers a pairing full of nuance. The richness of the dish finds the perfect ally in Sa Mel·lera: its structure supports the ensemble, while its aromatic complexity intertwines with the flavours of the rice and its ingredients.
