More than 150 gastronomic experiences
Bodegas Angel wines are synonymous with the island of Mallorca, have their own character due to the location of the winery. On the one hand they have very specific characteristics due to the proximity to the sea, on the other hand their terroir, red, called "Call Vermell" rich in iron oxide, and finally by the mountain range, which acts as a barrier to the North wind. Bodegas Angel produces wines with their own identity and character thanks to the local grapes of the region. Although we also have foreign grapes, the Prensal Blanc and the Black Mantle, queens of the Mallorcan varieties of the region, are responsible for such character and identity and the protagonists in each of the wines.
THE ORIGINS
Bodegas Angel was founded in 2006 by Andrés Gelabert. Mallorquín by birth spent his entire formative stage in the United States of America. He lived in California for most of his stay in the USA. There began to grow his passion for wine. On his return to Mallorca, in 2000, he sought the ideal area to create Bodegas Angel ("an" by Andrés and "gel" by Gelabert). The objective of Andrés is to produce excellent wines looking for the best combination of the best grapes in the area using unique native varieties and modern facilities for winemaking.
THE WINERY
The winery has the most advanced facilities of the moment for winemaking. So it optimizes the time during the harvest very well, being just as fast the entry of hand-picked grapes as a harvester. On the first floor are the fermentation area with modern stainless steel tanks and the bottling and expedition room, while the spacious basement houses the room of oak barrels intended for the aging of its red wines.
THE VINEYARDS
The farm formerly known as Sa Basseta, has an extension of 20 ha.de vineyard and has various grape varieties, both Majorcans such as Prensal Blanc (Moll) and mantle negro, as well as French, Viognier and Chardonnay for white wines and Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for reds. Currently it is formed by young vines and vines that are more than 50 years old, thus allowing the production of complex wines. Throughout the year, the vines are subjected to various care such as pruning, the subscriber, the elimination of weeds, pruning in green or the grape discharges, in order to reach the harvest in an optimal way and that the selection of the grapes in the vineyard is minimal.
VINIFICATION
Starting from a manual harvest, the grapes arrive at the winery in perfect sanitary conditions in boxes of 20 kg. In difficult years they are exposed to a rigorous selection, so that only healthy grapes and those that are at their optimum ripening point will become part of future wines.
In the winery the entrance of the grapes is distributed according to variety and plot to be able to make a more suitable winemaking depending on the varietal characteristics of each vineyard. For this purpose, the most innovative techniques of the moment are used, which helps to produce wines of the highest quality. Once the must has been converted into wine, it is intended for aging in French and American oak barrels for as long as appropriate, since each variety has its optimal stay in oak.
