Sunday, March 22, 4-7pm Free Anima Negra In-Store Wine Tasting

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:26:38 +0000

Anima Negra – A Silk Purse from a Sow’s Ear: Callet, the most widely planted indigenous varietal on the island of Mallorca was once considered a lowly step-child of a grape – barely capable of making a simple peasant wine. Little, if any, ever left the island until 1994 when Miguel Angel Cerda (on the right) and his brother-in-law founded Anima Negra (Black Soul) and applied their knowledge of horticulture, viticulture and wine making to Callet. The result is three stunning, world class reds from Callet that are enjoyed in the finest restaurants in the world, including the legendary Catalan restaurant el Bulli.
Come taste all three of their reds and their one white at Gnarly Vines or enjoy them leisurely with Miguel Angel at Chez Lola, the el Bulli of Brooklyn:-)

2007 Anima Negra ‘Quibia’ – Mallorca, Spain – $18
85% Prensal and 15% Muscat, Straw-yellow in colour with subtle hints of green. Aromatic and fresh revealing great fruit, varietal notes and delicate marine aromas. Fresh, full and flavoursome in the mouth. Well balanced with a pleasing finish.

2005 Anima Negra ‘AN/2′ – Mallorca, Spain – $25
Made from 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegre-Fogoneu and 15% Syrah. Full-bodied, well-integrated wine that straddles modern and tradtional winemaking. Extended maceration, SS fermentation, 70% new oak.

2004 Anima Negra ‘AN’ – Mallorca, Spain – $45
95% Callet, 5% Mantonegre-Fogoneu, R.Parker 2008: “Dark ruby-colored, more fragrant and richer than the AN/2, it offers a superb bouquet of cedar, lavender, fresh herbs, violets, and wild red fruits. Elegant, silky, intense, and long on the palate, this hedonistic effort will provide much pleasure over the next 10 years.”

2005 Anima Negra ‘Son Negra’ – Mallorca, Spain – $88
Anima Negra’s flagship wine, Son Negre is only released onto the market in exceptional years when, at the end of the ageing period, a unique wine with a superior quality is achieved. This wine is the result of the collaboration with the painter and friend, Miquel Barceló, who has made an exclusive label for Son Negre.

10% off all Anima Negra Wines during the tasting
