Motor Gómez

Anyone well-versed in the Mallorcan wine scene is familiar with the significance of 4 Kilos. This winery, established in 2006 by Francesc Grimalt (former oenologist at Ànima Negre) and Sergio Caballero (founder of the Sónar festival), took its name from the initial investment of four million pesetas (4 kilos). This modest sum enabled them to introduce high-quality wines that truly reflect the terroir of this enchanting and unique Mediterranean island. With vineyards scattered across various municipalities to the south and north of Mallorca, and thus not affiliated with any D.O., they commit to rational viticulture, innovative production methods, and a progressive, experimental approach to winemaking. These distinctive traits have cast an international spotlight on this bewitching island.

In line with the winery's R&D ethos, we find Motor Gómez, an ancestral sparkling wine crafted from macabeo grapes hailing from the highly esteemed area of Quíbia. Organically and conscientiously grown, the grapes are gently pressed post-harvest to extract their fructose and glucose-rich juices, thereby initiating a semi-carbonic fermentation that yields a fruity and vibrant wine. After five days of maceration, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, striking a balance between effervescence and stability, before being sealed in the bottle. Here, the wine, subtly refined, matures quietly over five years, developing complexity and character. Following this period, it is bottled and left to rest for 12 months before disgorging, ensuring the preservation of its natural freshness and effervescence.

Considering it has spent over seven years in development, Motor Gómez is an ancestral sparkling wine that maintains its freshness and bubbles in their purest form. It is a vivacious sparkling wine that exudes the magic and essence of the Mediterranean.
