\n\u2022<\/strong><\/strong><\/span> Sa Forana:<\/strong><\/span> Sa Forana reflects the family winery. It’s a red wine aged with a predominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo, fermented in stainless steel tanks, each variety separately, and aged with French oak barrels. It has aromas of ripe black fruit, the fresh touch of Cabernet, and all with a warm atmosphere. In the mouth it has a serene fruit with a well-melted boot and a sweet tannin.<\/p>\n

It’s a blend made with Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, and all varieties ferment separately in stainless steel tanks. It’s a fresh, medium-bodied wine with a deep purple-red colour, fruity aromas and mineral and liquorice touches.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Sa Forana white:<\/span><\/strong> Made with the oldest Chardonnay on the estate, very mineral and salty, slightly refreshed with a small percentage of white Premsal. Fermentation at a controlled temperature with a short step through a new French oak boot that gives it unctuousness and aromatic complexity.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> 600 metros white:<\/span><\/strong> It’s a young Mediterranean white wine, made with Chardonnay and white Premsal, a native variety that gives it lightness and minerality. Each variety is fermented separately in stainless steel tanks.<\/p>\n
