One of the most exciting recent wine projects coming out of Spain, 4 Kilos was set up in 2006 by former Anima Negra winemaker Francesc Grimalt and musician Sergio Caballero (who also owns the Sonar music festival). Grimalt was mainly responsible for rescuing the Balearic variety Callet which features in both these wines, along with newer plantings of the usual suspects Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. They also have small amounts of local variety Fogoneu. Taking grapes from north and south Mallorca they vinify them in a converted sheep farm using a combination of stainless steel and open top oak fermenters. The name 4 Kilos comes from their initial investment of 4 million pesetas, which so far looks like money well spent. New wine Grimalt y Caballero is organically made to show of local variety Callet to its most elegant extent and features the eponymous two duenos astride white steeds on the label. All wines are limited and demand is high.
