4 Kilos Vinícola

The name is the stake they started with. In the slang of the day a «kilo» was a million pesetas, and the two partners put in two kilos each: four million.

The partners are Francesc Grimalt, a winemaker who came from Ànima Negra and is credited with rescuing the callet grape, and Sergio Caballero, a musician, founding partner and co-director of the Sónar festival, who looks after the look of the house. They set up the winery in August 2006.

They are on the outskirts of Felanitx, in the southeast of Mallorca, certified organic.

12 Volts carries around 60% callet and fogoneu alongside syrah, cabernet sauvignon and merlot, from vines fifteen to forty years old on «call vermell», the island's red ferruginous clay with gravel.

It ferments with indigenous yeasts, macerates twenty days and ages nine months in foudres and used barrels, with no new oak.
