Description

12 Volts is the second label of Mallorca's 4 Kilos winery, and it wears the name well. A blend built on the local Callet and Fogoneu, filled out with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, sourced from organically farmed vineyards across the north and south of the island, on calcareous clay soils at 150 metres. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for nine months in a mix of foudre and French oak, it keeps its energy intact, with bright red fruit, a touch of liquorice and dried herb, and a fresh, lively finish. Vibrant and intensely drinkable, this is a wine that provides a figurative, as well as literal, jolt of energy.

4 Kilos

In August of 2006, Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Caballero set up 4Kilos Wines in Mallorca. Francesc is a winemaker known mainly for rescuing the variety of the native grape Callet on the Balearic wine scene. Sergio is musician and music festival director. The name 4Kilos comes from the initial investment made by both partners: 4 million pesetas. A modest investment which demonstrates that a good wine does not depend on a great economic effort but an ambition for quality and a passion for the product. In 2007 they converted a former sheep farm into a small winery, and their first wine was launched onto the market in May 2008.
