ABOUT THIS WINE

This wine is presented as a complete expression of the estate's complex geology and Mallorca's maritime influence. The producer is committed to artisanal winemaking practices.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Son Antem Vespre 2021 is a red blend produced by Bodega Son Antem. The Syrah grapes were partially destemmed, while the Monastrell grapes were fully destemmed. The wine was aged in a combination of a 3000-liter Austrian oak barrel and stainless steel tanks. Additionally, some Syrah was aged separately in a new 500-liter French oak barrel. The wine was bottled unfiltered in May 2022. The 2021 harvest took place in the latter half of August, under conditions that led to a low-yielding vintage with high natural acidity.
