About Son Negre

Son Negre is no ordinary wine. Son Negre is a special red wine. One of those rare occurrences in life. It happens only once every few years. In the case of this wine, crafted by bodegas Ánima Negra, it is limited to just eight. As is often the case, the bad is plentiful while the good is scarce.

Son Negre is a single-varietal wine made from callet, an indigenous grape variety from the Balearic Islands, currently being revived by young winemakers. Generally speaking, it is quite a challenging grape to work with, producing high-yield vines with berries of low colour intensity and low alcohol content. However, the situation changes with old vines, where callet becomes refined and improved. At Ánima Negra—where they manage 34 hectares of their own and 75 hectares leased—the vines are around 80 years old, with a yield of merely 500 grams per trunk, yet of exceptional quality. Deciphering the callet is no easy feat, but Ánima Negra has succeeded.

In terms of vinification, Son Negre is hand-harvested in 10 kg boxes. After an initial selection in the field, the callet is immediately placed into a cold chamber, where it remains overnight until it reaches 8°C-10°C. However, the selection process does not end there, as the following morning the finest berries undergo a double screening: first on a sorting table, and then through optical technology (where each grain is examined individually). After this meticulous process—only the finest berries will pass—Son Negre is gravity-fed into 4,000-litre French oak barrels where it will ferment at a controlled temperature using native yeasts. Following this, Son Negre will spend nearly a year and a half in these barrels, where it will soften and round out thanks to the fine grain. Finally, it will spend several more months in cement tanks.

Son Negre is a wine suited only for special occasions. Its packaging must also rise to the occasion with exclusive designs by the artist Miquel Barceló. As the writer Robert Braul once said, "in life, there are as many special occasions as we choose to celebrate." For each of these, Son Negre is the perfect choice. After all, it is the perfect excuse to celebrate anything.

2016

Son Negre 2016 is an elegant red wine. On the nose it is perfumed and subtle with smoky notes. On the palate it is spicy and medium-bodied with very fine tannins. Great balance and freshness. Notes and flavour of oak stand out.
2007 In the mouth, this wine is tasty, structured, balanced, energetic, very lively, round, harmonious, very long and very persistent. An intense, elegant and exciting red wine.

Intense cherry red colour. High robe, intense and very bright.

Intense nose which is above all deep. Ripe blackberries, spiced notes, mineral reminiscences, aromatic herbs, fine toasted hints, and very well defined roasted touches which form a complex and very balanced whole.
