2025 Ca'n Verdura Vins Supernova Blanc Binissalem-Mallorca, Spain
$42.00
Supernova Blanc is Ca’n Verdera’s premier white wine from the
indigenous moll (premsal) grape grown in the cal vermell soils,
consisting of red, iron-rich clay and limestone with small and medium-
sized galets. The flagship Supernova Blanc originates from the best plots
of old-vine moll from bush-trained vineyards planted in the 1950s in the
villages surrounding Binissalem, including the village of Santa Maria,
which are considered the finest vineyards in the area. Grapes come from
the Cas Pastor, Cas Verd, Son Borrás, and Plà de Buc plots, planted at
130 meters. This complex island white is medium bodied, with a profile of
citrus, chamomile, fresh herbs, fennel, and white fruit notes, which provide
great freshness. Wines are made with low intervention and minimal sulfur
at bottling. Production is necessarily very limited, as every bottle in this
garage winery is sold each vintage.
VINIFICATION I After manual harvest in small boxes, the must is held at
cold temperatures for four days to separate the gross lees naturally. 20%
is then fermented with native yeasts in 500L French oak barrels, the rest in
stainless steel tanks. After five months of aging on the lees, with stirring of
the wine in barrels for three months, the wine is clarified using bentonite
clay before being bottled.
