The Pinot Noir is a fragile grape and rather elusive, not always easy to cultivate. It's a very noble grape but requires some quite special climatic conditions. It's Burgundy's star variety but we can also find it adapting well to other areas with a more southerly latitude, where it produces very good wines from high altitude parcels or vineyards enjoying a highly favourable location. However, we need to taste them in a different mind-set and not look for a Burgundy wine from them. If you ever get the chance, don't miss out on the one made by Cortijo Los Aguilares in the Serranía de Ronda, at a height of 900 m, or Raül Bobet's in Castell d'Encús, at an altitude of about 1000 m in the Pyrenees area, or this Vinya des Morè, in Mallorca.
Miquel Gelabert is a vine grower who's passionate about his land, a champion of native varieties, because of their singularity and the cultural legacy they convey, yet he also figures among the pioneers in introducing foreign grapes to the island's vineyards. Industrious, he's a man who likes to experiment and surprise consumers with wines full of character. The Pinot Noir also numbers among the thirty-odd varieties he grows and is used to produce this noble wine, Vinya des Morè.
Vinya des Morè is a Mediterranean Pinot Noir, serious and refined like those we find further north. It's also a wine for cellaring, with a tannin presence, a tad dry in the first years, but pleasant, offset well by the juiciness of the fruit, ripe blackberries and plums. It's a wine that will surprise and delight you, leaving an impression, revealing earthy notes, a passage through the mouth that's fresh and uncovers floral and fine oak undertones. A wine to take your time over.

A really interesting wine
For a pinot, this is a quite full bodied wine, very different from the thinner Burgundies I have tried. It is also different from the jammy new world Pinots. A nice aroma that was almost reminiscent of an aged claret, the taste is of significant depth with cherry the dominant flavour. Its quite tannic. It has a long finish too.
Blind taste a bottle on someone who knows about wine or fancies theselves as a connoisseure. They may easily mistake this wine for something a deal more expensive.
This is a fine wine at a great value price.

Pinot mediterráneo
Una apuesta de calidad, buen tinto, algo potente de más, pero muchísimo mejor que el decepcionante Bru Pinot Noir de Gramona, mala imitación de los caldos de Borgoña. Aquí no hay engaño, pues es un pinot orgulloso de ser mediterráneo. Espero la próxima añada con expectación.
