Description

Crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir, Callet and Manto Negro grapes grown near the Bay of Pollença in Mallorca, this is a vibrant Provence style rosé with a pale pretty pink colour from gentle skin contact before fermentation. This rosé offers pronounced aromas of wild red fruits and ripe tropical notes like passion fruit and mango complemented by subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and fresh, with a lively acidity and a long finish featuring nuances of orange peel and wild berries. This rosé embodies the Mediterranean character, making it an ideal companion for light dishes or enjoyable on its own.

Featured by Joanna Simon, ‘An organic, vegan rosé made from Pinot Noir and indigenous Callet and Manto Negro near the Bay of Pollença on the north coast of Mallorca. Pale salmon-pink with freshness, fruit purity and silky texture and distinctive notes of apricot, red berry, resiny herbs and a hint of juniper berry.’ (2024 vintage)

About the Estate

Can Axartell is a finca, or rural estate, unlike any other. It is a place where both the traditional and modern sides of Mallorcan winegrowing blend and coexist. It is home to vineyards, olive plantations, forests, hillsides and waterways that flow together into a harmonious whole. Yet before its rediscovery in the 1990s, Can Axartell had fallen into a long period of disrepair. Restoring the centuries-old buildings proved a long and arduous process, but that time was well spent preparing for the recovery and recultivation of the estate's first vineyards. From the start, the estate has worked exclusively with certified organic practices. The modern winery buildings were completed in 2012, all dedicated to the Can Axartell philosophy: respect for the grapes, the environment, the people who produce the wine and those who enjoy it. The first modern Can Axartell vintage was bottled in 2013. Its wines have since earned acclaim on the island and far beyond as well.

Reviews

I do like to try an unusual wine. So a blush from Mallorca was most welcome. Lovely pale rose colour, smooth in the mouth with both citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Perfect on a warm, sunny evening in the garden.
