Founded in 2006 by Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Caballero, 4 Kilos is a winery that is dedicated, and has possibly rescued, the local grape Callet. Once a sheep farm, this winery is now recognised as one, if not the best producers on the island. The name 4 Kilos, refers to the initial 4 million peastas investment that was used to launch the winery. Money well spent we believe!!
"The eponymous and flagship red 2023 4 Kilos kept the harmonious, elegant and fresh profile that is a constant even in more challenging years. Half of the volume fermented in 2,500-liter oak vats and the other half in stainless steel, then the wine matured in 225- and 600-liter Allier oak barrels for one year. This has a more austere and serious nose than the Motor América/Motor Callet or the Grimalt/Caballero, without that honeyed note; it's more about flowers, plants and wild berries with a spicy twist. It has a powerful palate, with abundant, fine-grained tannins; it's nicely built and has a long, dry finish. It has contained ripeness and only 12% alcohol, with a pH of 3.7 and 4.5 grams of acidity. This feels like a long-distance runner, closer to 2021 or 2020 than to 2022. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2025."
