Ca’n Verdura Supernova Rosat 2022

Ca’n Verdura Viticultores is a ground-breaking garage-winery from Tomeu Llabrés, working in self-described “viticultura en miniatura”, focused on the search and recovery of historic Mallorquín vineyards and grape varieties. In 2012 he founded his micro-winery in a former auto garage at the center of the ancient village of Binissalem, located in the north-central portion of Mallorca. Through a steadfast focus on saving old vineyards and indigenous grape varieties, Tomeu has demonstrated incredible potential of the island, creating some of the Balearic region’s most ground-breaking wines. 

Tomeu Llabrés is a true viticultor, practicing minimal intervention winemaking and low impact viticulture by leaving the cover crop during the cold season and encouraging biodiversity within his parcels and environment through polyculture. His wines are handmade, without additions, subtractions, or corrections. His primary objective with each cuvée is maximum respect and transparency for his terroir and culture, as well as for the customers who enjoy his wine.

Supernova Rosat is a limited production rosé wine produced from the red mantonegro grape, indigenous to the Binissalem region of Mallorca, grown in call vermell soils consisting of red, iron-rich clays and limestone with small- and medium-sized galets. Supernova Rosat originates from one plot of 25 year-old, bush-trained mantonegro vines. 

This fragrant, Mediterranean rosé is medium-bodied, with notes of wild red berries, citrus, fresh herbs, and exotic spices. Production is necessarily very limited, as every bottle from this garage winery is sold each vintage.​

Vinification – After hand harvesting in small boxes, grapes are sorted by hand for quality. The wine is directly pressed very slowly and then fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks at 19°C. The finished wine rests and is allowed to naturally settle in stainless steel, before bentonite clarification and bottling.
