Anima Negra AN 2018

Cellar for up to 12 years. Decant 1 hour before serving.

Ànima Negra was founded in 1994 on the gorgeous island of Mallorca by two friends and self-taught winemakers, Pere Ignasi Obrador and Miquelàngel Cerdà. The duo’s first vintage was just two barrels of Callet grapes which they made in some unused milk tanks on Pere’s family dairy farm.

Today the winery is considered one of Spain’s finest natural wine producers thanks to their commitment to biodynamic practices, dry farming in the vineyards, and use of wild yeasts for fermentation. Their flagship wine is AN which is primarily composed of the indigenous Callet variety as well as some Mantonegre and Fogoneu. Grapes are hand harvested from old vines in the Son Negre sub-region where the intense summer sun produces perfectly ripe fruit with great concentration.

Following vinification the wine is aged in French oak for 17 months followed by a year in the bottle. To ensure it meets their exacting standards, Pere and Miquelàngel only make AN in the finest vintages. This is a truly unique and opulent natural wine with complex layers of succulent damsons, blackberries and plums along with hints of leather, violets, spice and woodsmoke. Enjoy now with hearty meat dishes or cellar for another decade or so.
