"I don't trust people who don't drink". Supposedly attributed to Humphrey Bogart, this is the saying that Desconfío pays tribute to, a wine carrying 95% of the Mantonegro variety and one which aims to silence the voices of those who have no confidence in this grape's capabilities. A wine which does justice and credit to this local variety and enables enjoyment of all its singularity thanks to a careful vinification that includes ageing for 13 months in new French oak barrels.
Desconfío is a wine with character, featuring its aromas of red fruit jam, scrubland and eucalyptus, to which are added other woody notes, toffee hints and a mineral touch. On the palate it appears flavoursome, aromatic, elegant, fruit-driven and varietal. Very balsamic as it passes through the mouth and having silky tannins which makes it most pleasant on the palate. A lovely wine, with a long and expressive finish.

Excelente vino. Ideal para apreciar la variedad de uva mallorquina Manto Negro.
Me gusta mucho el recuerdo que deja. Me parece un vino sabroso y bien estructurado. Lo probé hace unos días en la bodega y lo primero que hice al regresar a Madrid fue comprar una caja de seis botellas. Se nota que es un vino hecho con mucho mimo. Nunca había probado un vino elaborado exclusivamente con Manto Negro y creo que tiene un sabor parecido al de la uva Garnacha. Creo que es uno de los mejores ejemplos de los excelentes vinos que se están haciendo últimamente en Mallorca.

Bodega Ribas
