Motor America Red 4 Kilos 2018

4 Kilos was started in 2006; aged briefly in clay amphorae, it is by two friends on Mallorca, Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Caballero, who had been working in other wineries and wanted to do their own thing.

They pooled their money and with a very modest investment purchased an old goat cheese creamery. They renovated it and actually use the old milk refrigerating tanks for fermenting wine. This is a very small operation trying to work with traditional lesser known local grapes, fermenting naturally, and avoiding any additives including sulfur. “Motor America” is made 100% with an indigenous varietal called Callet; aged briefly in clay amphorae, it is a light, bright red with aromas and flavors of wild berries and refreshing acidity.
