At around 1:30, after lunch, the wind dropped and the sun came out. I started contemplating getting outside, going for a walk. Before I could get as far as changing my shoes there was a long rumbling roll of thunder. I stepped outside, looked out between the buildings and saw dark grey clouds obliterating the mountains and thunder again rolled around. Within minutes it was raining for the first time since I got here. Black to Plan A, spend the day inside!
Its not big enough for a fruit bowl, this was just to show the size. |
This is my first purchase of Mallorcan wine. "Mas de Canet" |
'Vi de la terra Mallorca" is also on the label. This is the domain; a search results in "The Serra de Tramuntana-Costa Nord is a geographical indication used to describe the traditional wines of the wine region of Mallorca , in the north-west of the island between the head of Formentor and the southwest coast of Andratx . It is composed of 18 municipalities"
Also on the label; the name "Family-owned Wineries Antonio Nadal."
This is the link to the Antonio Nadal Wineries website: click here
The wine I am drinking is not on their website. The winery is not far from here though and is open for tours so I think Eve (who gets here in about a week) and I may check it out.
The e-mail listed on the label directed me to the Tiannenegre Winery. For the website click here.
The wine I am drinking is not listed on their website either. But it is in the same area as the Antonio Nadal, sounds like a wine tour to me.
So I still don't know who made the wine. I know its Mallorcan and the approximate area that the grapes came from (near Binissalem) and that I like it. The wine is smooth, fruity, not quite as dry as I normally like but quite delicious. I can pretty well guarantee that I wont be able to get it at the LCBO.
