Mallorca, Trispol, Mesquida Mora - 2021

Barbara Mesquida Mora was born in a little corner of paradise on the island of Majorca. She was bathed in the salty water and sun of the Mediterranean throughout her childhood. Taking over the family estate in 2012, she decided to explore an unusual path: that of biodynamic cultivation and sensitive, digestible wines, far from the heady, extracted and woody wines favoured by mass tourism. The estate's vineyard is made up of seven plots of land between 5 and 50 years old. They are cultivated on limestone, clay and reddish soils. Within this mosaic, the first international grape varieties cohabit with ancient and rare indigenous varieties, reflecting the history of the island. In order to leave future generations living and fertile soils, the management of the vineyards is based on a dialogue with nature: Barbara sows plant cover, uses compost and biodynamic preparations, and plant infusions. All of this helps her to obtain grapes of optimal quality, enhanced by careful manual work, and all this while respecting the lunar and biodynamic calendar.
