Wild black fruits and a fleck of fennel and graphite. Light on its feet with elegance. Mineral drive, raspberrues and red cherries swirl around. Rosehip, dried herbs, the palate is so expressive. Blood orange and wet stone. Great energy. Can be served with a slight chill on the warmer months.

Ve d’Avior is the personal project of Cati Ribot, a third generation grape farmer, the inaugural vintage in 2019. Her families 14 hectare estate, Galmes I Ribot, is located in Santa Margalida, north east Mallorca. An island bathed in sunshine, the summers are hot, the winters mild. Fifteen kilometers from the Mediterranean sea near the Bay of Alcudia, the vineyards benefit from both the Mistral and Tramontana winds in addition to the sea breeze. The soils of Santa Margalida are iron-rich clay with a lot of calcareous rocks.
