Buy Wine from 4 Kilos Vinícola

The 4 Kilos Vinícola winery is located on the picturesque island of Mallorca, specifically on the outskirts of Felanitx. This winery was founded in August 2006 by Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Caballero. Grimalt, an oenologist with a background at the Anima Negra winery, is known for his crucial role in revitalising the indigenous Callet grape in the Balearic wine scene. On the other hand, Caballero, a passionate music lover and co-director of the SÓNAR festival, has been instrumental in creating the winery's unique image.

4 Kilos' first production, the wine "4Kilos 2006", was made in a garage with limited resources, but with grapes of excellent quality. They used milk cooling tanks for fermentation and maceration, which provided ample contact surface between the skins and the must. Half of the production was made in 225-litre open barrels, aged in French oak for fourteen months. This wine was launched on the market at the end of May 2008.
In 2007, the winery moved to a former sheep barn, where the "4Kilos 2007" and the new project "12Volts 2007" were produced. The working philosophy at 4 Kilos Vinícola is dynamic and adaptable, varying each year according to the harvest. The grapes are selected by hand, and fermentation can take place either in oak or stainless steel, with variations in the length of ageing and the type of barrels used.

Vineyards

The 4 Kilos vineyards are spread across different municipalities in both the south and north of Mallorca, which gives them a unique diversity and allows them to operate outside any specific Denomination of Origin. The vines are mostly planted on "Call Vermell" soils, characterised by their clay-loam composition with abundant ferric oxide. The varieties grown include Callet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Fogoneu, Merlot, Monastrell and Syrah.

Philosophy

The philosophy of 4 Kilos Vinícola focuses on making wines that reflect the identity of the grape and its terroir. The approach is not only varietal, but they also consider the interaction between the vine, the soil, the climate and the winegrower to be essential. The winery works closely with local winegrowers, promoting rational and environmentally friendly viticulture. In many of their vineyards, they use indigenous plant cover to improve grape concentration, soil porosity and microbial biodiversity.
The winery's initial investment was modest, only 4 million pesetas (hence the name "4 Kilos"), demonstrating that the quality of wine does not necessarily depend on a large financial investment, but rather on the passion and effort dedicated to the product.
In short, 4 Kilos Vinícola is an outstanding example of innovation and quality in modern viticulture, combining traditional techniques with a contemporary and sustainable approach, reflecting the rich diversity and unique character of Mallorca's wines.
