Ca'n Verdura is an exciting garagiste / micro-project based on the island of Mallorca by winemaker Tomeu Llabrés, who specializes in finding old, forgotten vines to craft soil-driven, light-bodied reds from nearly extinct varieties. The results are both irresistibly delicious and compelling. Just 7,500 bottles were produced of Supernova Negre, Ca’n Verdura’s premier red wine from the indigenous red Mantonegro grape grown in cal vermell soils, consisting of red, iron-rich clay and limestone with small and medium-sized galets. The flagship Supernova red originates from the best plots of old-vine Mantonegro from bush-trained vineyards planted in the 1950s in the surrounding villages of Binissalem, including the village of Santa Maria, which are considered the finest vineyards in the area. Grapes come from the Cas Pastor, Sa Bassa Blanca, and Plà de Buc plots, planted at 130 meters. This fragrant, Mediterranean red is medium-bodied, with notes of wild red berries, citrus, fresh herbs, and exotic spices, and the wine is made with low intervention and minimal sulfur at bottling. And it dazzles—pours a paler red, offers up a musky strawberry that seems ready for summer. Clearly production is necessarily very limited, as every bottle in this garage winery is sold each vintage. The impression is a Mediterranean thrill ride, crushable and food-friendly.
