Bon Vivant Imports 435-654-3711 www.bonvivantimports.com MESQUIDA MORA Sincronia Rosat Sincronia’s label is composed of small fragments of colored paper, like life itself; and is illustrated with a boat because it symbolizes the will and ambition to cross new seas and oceans Mesquida Mora is a newer established winery on the small island of Mallorca by 4th generation winemaker Bàrbara Mesquida Mora. Their family has been making wine on the island for around 50 years now, and in 2007, with her brother Jaume, she decided to branch out with a new line of wines and committing to an entirely bio-dynamic production. Pulling from their estate fruit that is dotted throughout the central and eastern portion of the island within the Pla i Llevant D.O., the wines are proving to be an incredible representation of what the island wines are capable of. Focused on happy and healthy grapes that will be passed on to generations to come, Mesquida Mora is a winery to keep an eye on. Although located within the Pla i Llevant DO in the center of the island, Mesquida Mora chooses to demarcate their wines to VdlT Mallorca to preserve the entire island’s importance Sincronia Rosat takes its name from the simple pieces of life that take opportunity from other pieces, the magic of life. When the younger vines of Mesquida Mora vineyards were born, they came in synchrony with their older siblings (Acrollam & Trispol) to create a second tier for the estate’s exceptional production. The 2018 Rosat is made of the local Callet grape, Merlot, Monastrell, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are hand-harvested and after 18-24 hours on the skins, the free-run juice is taken aside for natural fermentation. Once complete, a blend is made and the wine ages with its lees for about 4 months in stainless steel until bottled. A gorgeous salmon pink hue shimmers in the glass, leading to an incredible bouquet of summer fruits like watermelon and nectarine. The palate showcases a fresh vibrancy that rings with red fruits, stone fruits, and a crisp minerality from the limestone soils.
