About the Winery
Mesquida Mora

Bàrbara Mesquida Mora established the groundbreaking Mesquida Mora winery in Mallorca in 2012 near the town of Porreres, producing wines in the DO Plà i Llevant and Vins de la Terra de Mallorca designations in the southern and eastern areas of the island.
Bàrbara’s wines form a rich mosaic recalling the diversity of Mallorca varieties while also representing the history of her pioneering winemaking family, with her own unique futuristic vision. Upon leaving behind the winery created by her pioneering great-grandfather in 1945 in Porreres, Bàrbara started her project from scratch with historic vineyards inherited from her mother. Previously, Bàrbara managed the family winery for eight years, from 2004 until 2012, and was one of Spain’s first Demeter biodynamic certifications in 2007.
Bàrbara has not only been a passionate practitioner of organic and biodynamic viticulture for more than two decades; she has also introduced a regenerative agriculture approach through encouraging biodiversity within her estate vineyards. Prior to her winemaking career, Bàrbara studied Medieval literature and Catalan language in Barcelona. Comfortably multilingual culture, art, and language are like air and water for her, informing every aspect of her work. Bàrbara is among the vanguard of a wave of young producers recuperating and contributing to the unique cultural and viticultural matrix of traditional Mallorcan agriculture.

The young and tender 2021 Sincronia Blanc was produced with a blend of Premsal, Giró and Chardonnay, a light and easy-to-drink Mediterranean white with elegance and complexity, yellow and white fruit and a juicy palate. It has ripe flavors and 13.5% alcohol nicely balanced by a pH of 3.41 with a pleasant bitter twist in the finish.

About the Winery
Bodegas Exopto
Exopto is Latin for “to long for” or “to desire greatly” and it is the dream of Frenchman Tom Puyaubert and his family to endeavor to craft and assemble wines where the whole adds up to more than the sum of their parts. Tom relocated from France to Rioja in 2000 after falling in love with the region and working for the French cooperage Saury as its Spain representative.
When Tom began Exopto, he wanted to do a project that produced wines within this historical context of Rioja - combining both worlds in a unique way. His idea is to remain true to the blending of the principle grape varieties and to do so from the best terroirs/villages for those varieties crossing sub-regions of Rioja. Each wine though, has a majority of a different principle grape – showcasing that variety specifically within the context of a blend. The viticulture and winemaking model is that of the “vigneron” days – small plots of vines in the extremes, wild yeast fermentation in concrete or old oak vats and then aging in a way to showcase the fruit, minerality and terroir not the wood or aged flavours that people often associate with Rioja.

The very young red 2021 Bozeto de Exopto mixes Tempranillo from Ábalos and Mediterranean Garnacha from Alfaro (with 10% Graciano), and it seems very balanced, with good ripeness (14.5%), showing the Garnacha and the more austere Graciano with nice fruit and freshness. It's serious and has complexity and depth beyond its price point. It matured in a combination of concrete and oak containers for some six months. Excellent value in one of the finest vintages for this wine. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022.

The red blend 2020 Sincronia Negre was cropped from the most challenging vintage they've had so far, when they lost 50% of the crop to mildew. It's a multi-grape blend of Callet, Gorgollassa, Mantonegro, Monastrell, Cabernet and Merlot from most of their vineyards, all fermented separately and matured in barriques for six months. It's a light Mediterranean blend with only 12% alcohol and a light palate with nice balance and freshness, fruit-driven and juicy, with very fine tannins and a clean, long finish. 18,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021. Best after 2022.

Callet, Manto Negro, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon from Porreres and Felanixt villages. It is cultivated following biodynamic principles. Separate fermentation of the different varieties and post-fermentation maceration according to the varieties. The MLF is carried out in stainless-steel tanks. Aged for 12 months in 5,000-litre vats and 225-litre French oak barrels. Tasted blind. I can smell the oak over an intense fruit expression. Juicy texture, soft tannins and evolving flavours. Honest fruit expression with a floral touch. This is a pure and respectful wine. A project to be followed closely.

The other white is the 2021 Acrollam Blanc, which has a darker golden color and a deeper nose than the Sincronia. It's a blend of 60% Premsal and 40% Giró bottled unoaked with an elegant nose that combines notes of white fruit and flowers with herbs and spiced (but no oak) and a round and velvety palate that is medium-bodied and has good ripeness, balance and freshness with a salty finish. 5,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.
Mesquida Mora is the second iteration of the Mora family in Mallorca, as the winery changed completely in 2012 with the second generation, Bàrbara Mesquida Mora, who works the vineyards organically and has certified all her wines, 85,000 to 90,000 bottles, depending on the vintage.
2020 was a very challenging year, not only because of the coronavirus, but mildew also reduced the crop to 50%, even more for some varieties. They did a quick harvest and shorter macerations. 2021 was better.

40-year-old vines of (thick skinned) Prensal, and Giró (grafted on to 30-year-old rootstocks) – usually 50:50. Biodynamic production but no longer certified. Rainy spring helped to cope with a hot and dry summer. Acrollam is Mallorca backwards. Prensal is made by pre-fermentation maceration with a small part carbonic maceration, which winemaker Barbara Mesquida Mora likes, and fermentation with the skins (8–10 days). Giró is direct-pressed. Separate vinification before the final blend. Kept on the lees until bottling. Greenish gold with a very light apricot tinge. Intense and pungent nose with strong fruit, very light astringency and a light sensation of golden-syrup flavour!
