Mesquida i Mora

Description Mesquida i Mora

Bàrbara Mesquida comes from a winemaker's family, but she started her own micro-estate from scratch on her own. She works in biodynamics, mainly with local grapes, in white and red. Hers is one of Mallorca's most quality-oriented projects, even if it is on a small scale. Pour Bàrbara, nothing happens by chance, everything is connected in this life, so she called her entry-level wines Sincronia.

Description Mesquida i Mora

History Mesquida i Mora

This is a family estate, founded in 1945 by the great-grandfather of today’s owners in the small village of Porreres, in the east of Mallorca. But it is their father who played a pioneer in the island’s viticulture. He planted here new grapes (mainly Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) and popularised new techniques, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar. Bàrbara and her younger brother Jaume have been at the helm of the estate since 2004 and are also pioneers. They decided to work exclusively according to the principles of biodynamics (with the Demeter certification). They also went back to their roots, working with two Mallorcan mules in the vines. At their estate, they now try to revive old indigenous varieties like Callet, Mantonegro, Premsal, Giró (Grenache) and Monastrell. Bàrbara and Jaume are now amongst the most famous Mallorcan winemakers. The style of their wines is very Mediterranean, but they are particularly attentive about elegance and finesse. They strive to defend Mallorca’s traditions and environment. Their project aims at preserving natural life in and around the vineyard. La Buena Vida is proud to be able to help them.

Varieties Mesquida i Mora

The grapes that are used on the estate were mainly planted by Jaume and Bàrbara’s father, who was the first to introduce French varieties on the island. Meanwhile, the two were lucky enough to be able to buy vines of old local grapes – and they now wish to put the emphasis on them. They are still buying old vines of Premsal, Callet and Mantonegro. The estate encompasses 32 hectares, divided between 12 varietals, of which the most important are Premsal (8 hectares), Cabernet Sauvignon (8 hectares also), Chardonnay (6 hectares) and Callet (5 hectares). They also have smaller blocks of Monastrell, Macabeu, Parellada, Tempranillo, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Riesling. Callet – an indigenous grape – survived to the phylloxera. With its big bunches, it can produce very high yields. The wines it produces are not high in alcohol and they have a light colour. They only make great wines on good terroirs – with nice and interesting Mediterranean aromas. Callet blends well with Mantonegro, which has a higher alcohol potential.

Terroir Mesquida i Mora

As the estate is farmed biodynamically, the good balance of the plant is key. Soils are very diverse, from clay-limestone to iron oxide (called here “call vermell”) or the silts of Son Porquer, which give the wines a pleasant bitterness. As one would expect for an island vineyard, it is influenced by the sea breeze, which brings it coolness. All vines are farmed with the help of two Mallorcan mules. The respect for the environment, which is part of biodynamics, surely contributes to the nice Mediterranean expression in the wines.

Vinification Mesquida i Mora

Manual harvesting. A first selection of the grapes is made in the vine; then they are sorted on a table at the cellar. Manipulation is kept at the lowest possible. Filtration is very light, so that the wines can stabilise naturally. Jaume and Bàrbara strive to keep the sulphur doses very low during the winemaking process, as well as at the bottling.
