Augustus Reserva Trajanus 2019Cellers Augustus-Forum - 75 cl.

A new line at Jané Ventura's estate. Until now, there were only two whites in the range, an entry-level wine and a top wine. After a long period of experimentation, a new trio of wines was introduced, the Selecció (in white, red and rosé). These three wines are made with the grapes of 15 different vineyards planted with old vines. Skin contact maceration at low temperature (10°C). On the label is the Fina Mas Vilella, located in the uplands and surrounded by vines.

A classic in the Augustus range, the Cabernet-Sauvignon reaches new height each year. This "Mediterranean Bordeaux" is made with older vines yielding a much more 'serious' wine than 20 years ago.

One of the few 100% Cabernet Franc wines in the Iberian Peninsula. It was first planted here as a blending variety. Some years ago, it was decided to vinify it on its own. It was a great success. Limited production (5,300 bottles).

Maduresa means maturity. The label refers to the perfect ripeness of each berry, a prerequisite for a successful vinification. Mando is a disappearing grape which has been saved thanks to Pablo's efforts.

ÀN/2 is the second wine of this estate. Like the fist one, Ànima Negra, it is mainly made with indigenous Majorcan grapes. But here, 15% of Syrah bring some more structure into the wine. Since the 2016 vintage, the estate has adopted parcel-based vinification, which has significantly elevated the quality of all its red wines.

Coma d'en Pou is a collective name for some vineyards located East of Gandesa, at the foot of the Serra de Cavalls. A coma is a small valley in catalan. The Coma d'en Pou covers around 10 ha, planted with vines and olive trees. The first wine (a very limited volume) was made in 1996. During the 1990's, Cabernet Sauvignon was the main grape in the blend; now it is Grenache Noir.

Terra de Cuques Negre reflects the terroir of the village of Torroja. The Carinyena, planted on llicorella soils, provides the structure, backbone and acidity, while the Garnacha from clay soils brings elegant expression and red fruit. The vines are between 25 and 40 years old and are planted at an altitude of 300 to 350 metres.

This blend has always been the flagship of the estate... and an excellent price quality relation. In 1996, for its first vintage, the production was only a few barrels. Meanwhile, the vines (15 hectares) have grown older et also the know-how. Thanks to stricter selection of the grapes, the quality of wine has reached new levels.

Ànima Negra is the first wine created by the bodega and the namesake of the estate. It has become a true cult wine of Mallorca. The aim is to produce the purest Callet wine in the world. New vines are planted using seeds from the best mother plants, and without American rootstock. Since the 2016 vintage, the estate has adopted parcel-based vinification, which has significantly elevated the quality of all its red wines.

In South Africa like in Spain, Terroir is a relatively new concept. The oenologist of the Spanish estates we work with played a pioneering role in understanding its value. The same for Eben Sadie and its family in South Africa. Columella is the flagship of this small company. Its production is very limited, but the quality is very high.

This Son Negre is the flagship wine of this small Mallorcan estate. It’s world-famous, not least because of its label: every year, renowned Spanish artist Miquel Barceló creates a unique design for this wine. It represents the purest expression of the Callet grape. Son Negre is also the name of a small hamlet where Ànima Negra owns three of its finest vineyard plots, reserved exclusively for this cuvée. The wine is made from the estate’s oldest Callet vines, which yield as little as 500 grams per vine. The vineyards benefit from outstanding ventilation thanks to constant Mediterranean winds. The soils are extremely poor, mineral-rich, and very dry. Son Negre is only produced in exceptional vintages — years with true character. The two most recent are 2016 and 2022. A cult wine for collectors!
