Tanuki Bob is a red wine from the V.T. Mallorca produced by 4 Kilos Vinícola with Syrah and Manto Negro grapes.

4 Kilos makes its wines in Felanitx, in the heart of the island of Mallorca. Here the climate is mild Mediterranean, with dry, hot summers and little rainfall. They practice a rational agriculture, very respectful with the environment, and with a minimum of intervention. They use the autochthonous plant cover, with a large microbiological population in order to ensure good biodiversity in the vineyard.

Tanuki Bob is a red wine made with Manto Negro and Syrah from vineyards located in clay-loam soils with presence of ferric oxide, called "Call Vermell".

After a manual harvest with grape selection in the vineyard, it is fermented in 4,000-litre vats with indigenous yeasts. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 9 months in the same vats and 9 more months in stainless steel tanks. Before being put on the market, it rests for 6 months in the bottle.

The origin of the name of the winery, 4 kilos (4 million pesetas) was the initial investment of Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Caballero, the two partners of the recently created Mallorcan winery 4 kilos Vinícola S.L. A modest investment for this sector, which shows that a good wine does not depend on a great economic effort but on an ambition for quality and a passion for the product.

Tasting notes of Tanuki Bob

Tanuki Bob has a pale garnet red colour. The nose is a harmonious symphony of crisp, fresh red fruits: raspberries and blackberries, accompanied by a hint of the Mediterranean, bay leaf, cassis and a light touch of wood perfume. In the mouth it has great volume, a fluid and thick texture and a fully melted tannin. A delicate, fresh red wine with a lot of character. Delicious and very pleasant.
