Cati Ribot, Ve d'Avior Blanc 'Son Llebre' 2022

Mallorca doesn’t have the winemaking pedigree of some other Mediterranean islands, but that’s beginning to change. The reason? Cati Ribot. After training as a sommelier in Barcelona, Cati returned to her native Mallorca, and began experimenting with the Spanish island’s extremely esoteric, native grape varieties. A decade or so later, her textured, aromatic whites are gaining a following in natural wine circles around the world. Cati makes this skin-contact white with grapes like giró ros and malvasía de banyalbufar planted in the winery’s backyard.

Tastes like: Apricot, orange zest, sea salt.

How to drink: Cold with grilled veggies, mussels, or a big cheese board.
