ABOUT THIS WINE
Motor Callet is a vibrant, low-intervention red wine produced by 4 Kilos Vinícola in Felanitx, Mallorca. Founded in 2006 by winemaker Francesc Grimalt and musician Sergio Caballero, the estate has been a pioneer in resurrecting Mallorca's indigenous grape varieties, particularly Callet. The grapes are sourced from vineyards planted on 'Call Vermell'—the island's iconic iron-rich, red clay soils. This cuvée represents a modern, fresh, and highly drinkable style of Mediterranean red, moving away from heavy extraction to celebrate elegance, bright acidity, and local terroir.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Motor Callet emphasizes minimal intervention and natural techniques. The hand-harvested Callet grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts in traditional clay amphorae (tinajas). This choice of vessel allows for gentle micro-oxygenation without imparting any oak flavors, preserving the grape's primary fruit and mineral character. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal or no added sulfur dioxide, maintaining its raw, energetic profile.
