Sincronia Negre 2022

Very pleasant, well-made and fully developed; these are my first impressions. Lively, varying but always balanced, and complex, are terms we might use to give an idea of its personality. Overall, a fine local wine, from a specific landscape, a fine wine from the Tierra de Mallorca. It is difficult in the Balearic Islands to find a wine of this quality and high calibre at this price. On finding out a bit more about the wine and its history, we learn that its quality is no accident, as was to be expected. Brothers Bàrbara and Jaume belong to the fourth generation of a family dedicated to wine and vineyards, passionate about their wine and everything connected to it, committed to their land and the natural environment. They work in line with biodynamic principles, seeking balance in the ecosystem, protecting and improving biological diversity, in order to express the vineyard’s potential, vigour and authenticity. Their passion and dedication come through in the wine. Callet and Mantonegro mostly, Syrah and Merlot, are the varieties blended to obtain this wine, a vivid and bright Picota cherry in colour, with juicy aromas of forest fruits, pleasantly sweet, pure and fresh, rounded off with floral and mineral notes, hints of India ink and earthy nuances which even remind us of a Priorat; a red with good structure, backbone and an underlay of new wood (without suggestions of toast or vanilla, just clean new wood) on the palate. A very fruit-forward wine with remarkable persistence. 'Synchrony' means simultaneous occurrence and Sincronía Negre is the magic that brings together fruit, effort and passion in a glass for our pleasure and enjoyment.
