Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The pale red 2020 Gallinas y Focas was produced with 100% Mantonegro grapes and fermented mostly in 4,000-liter oak foudre and 30% of the volume in 500-liter barrels. It has a sense of ripeness and warmth, perfumed and floral, quite showy. 2020 was warm and dry, and it rained during the harvest (30 liters) but the grapes were picked earlier and avoided the issues. It has a developed nose with notes of decayed roses and dry leaves, Mediterranean à la Rayas, with notions of cherries in liqueur despite the contained 13% alcohol. It has a medium-bodied palate and very chalky tannins. It's serious and ready but better with food. 17,103 bottles and 89 magnums produced.

Description
Gallinas y Focas is an exceptional wine that stands out for its composition and winemaking process. This wine, produced by the renowned 4kilos vineyard in Mallorca, Spain, is a blend of 90% Manto Negro and 10% Syrah, offering a unique experience in every sip.
Winemaking
The winemaking of Gallinas y Focas is a carefully orchestrated process. Fermentation takes place 80% in stainless steel tanks and 20% in oak barrels, which contributes to its distinctive flavour profile. The wine then matures for 15 months in new 500-litre French oak barrels from Allier, giving it remarkable complexity and depth.
Taste
The taste of Gallinas y Focas is a true masterpiece. The nose is earthy and warm, with notes of dark, powerful forest fruits, such as blackberry and raspberry, complemented by a hint of plum. Herbal nuances add a special finesse to the bouquet. On the palate, it surprises with fresher fruit and lively herbs, creating an interesting contrast with the olfactory sensations. The tannic structure is fine, balanced with an invigorating acidity. The wine unfolds on the palate with full body, culminating in an elegant and delicate finish, reflecting mainly fruity notes without becoming bitter. Despite its power, Gallinas y Focas maintains a smooth, velvety texture, ensuring that it is a pleasure to drink with every sip.
This wine is not only remarkable for its quality, but also for its social background. It is the result of a collaborative project with amadip.esment, an organisation dedicated to supporting people with intellectual disabilities. The participants of this project are involved in all stages of the wine's production, from the cultivation of the grapes to the design of the label, making Gallinas y Focas a wine with a significant social impact.
