About Gallinas y Focas

One should never judge a book by its cover, and something similar applies to wine. Sometimes the winemaker knows exactly what they want; at other times, it is far more complex. What should be placed on the label to capture the consumer's attention? Regardless, this was not an issue for Amadip Esmente when the association members decided to name their wine Gallinas y Focas. "Chickens are fun, and seals clap," they explained. Anything else to add?

Alongside them was the Mallorcan winery 4 Kilos, who have made it possible for this association, which aims to provide people with intellectual disabilities the same opportunities as all citizens, to produce this organic, luscious, and immensely flavourful red wine.

The manto negro and syrah are the two varieties that form the blend of this red wine cultivated in the Roig and Plà d'en Caleu vineyards, where clay-limestone soils with pebbles abound. All tasks are carried out manually, demonstrating the utmost respect for the environment.

Gallinas y Focas ferments in 4000l foudres at a temperature not exceeding 20°C and undergoes maceration for 25 days, enhancing its colour, flavour, and aromas. Once the fermentation process is complete, Gallinas y Focas will age for 18 months in various containers: 12 months in 500l Allier oak barrels and an additional 6 months in 4000l French oak foudres. Finally, before being released for sale, Gallinas y Focas will rest for 6 months in the bottle.

And that's not all! The label design must also be credited to the association members. It couldn't be better.
