Juicy & Fresh

Sincronia Negre is one of two complementary entry-level cuvées produced from biodynamically estate-farmed red grape varieties by Bàrbara Mesquida Mora. This wine is made with the grapes Callet, Gorgollasa, Mantonegro, Monastrell, Cabernet and Merlot.

As with all of her wines, Sincronia Negre is a mosaic recalling the blend of native and international grape varieties while also representing the history of her pioneering winemaking family.

Following a manual harvest, each of the varieties undergoes a separate fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. The wine is then blended and racked into two- and three-year-old French and American oak barrels for six months of aging. It is produced with low intervention and in limited quantities.

Sincronia Negre is a love letter to the rich mosaic of Mallorca’s diverse grape varietal makeup. This wine combines both freshness and power; with Mediterranean garrigue aromatics and a core of mouth-watering fruit destined to pair incredibly well with any food. It is a warm introduction to the soul and spirit of Mallorca, a joyous red table wine destined to elevate any meal or situation.

Pair this wine with chorizo and shrimp paella.

About the Winery

Mesquida Mora

Bàrbara Mesquida Mora established the groundbreaking Mesquida Mora winery in Mallorca in 2012 near the town of Porreres, producing wines in the DO Plà i Llevant and Vins de la Terra de Mallorca designations in the southern and eastern areas of the island.

Bàrbara’s wines form a rich mosaic recalling the diversity of Mallorca varieties while also representing the history of her pioneering winemaking family, with her own unique futuristic vision. Upon leaving behind the winery created by her pioneering great-grandfather in 1945 in Porreres, Bàrbara started her project from scratch with historic vineyards inherited from her mother. Previously, Bàrbara managed the family winery for eight years, from 2004 until 2012, and was one of Spain’s first Demeter biodynamic certifications in 2007.

Bàrbara has not only been a passionate practitioner of organic and biodynamic viticulture for more than two decades; she has also introduced a regenerative agriculture approach through encouraging biodiversity within her estate vineyards. Prior to her winemaking career, Bàrbara studied Medieval literature and Catalan language in Barcelona. Comfortably multilingual culture, art, and language are like air and water for her, informing every aspect of her work. Bàrbara is among the vanguard of a wave of young producers recuperating and contributing to the unique cultural and viticultural matrix of traditional Mallorcan agriculture.

Press Reviews

90 points

The red blend 2020 Sincronia Negre was cropped from the most challenging vintage they've had so far, when they lost 50% of the crop to mildew. It's a multi-grape blend of Callet, Gorgollassa, Mantonegro, Monastrell, Cabernet and Merlot from most of their vineyards, all fermented separately and matured in barriques for six months. It's a light Mediterranean blend with only 12% alcohol and a light palate with nice balance and freshness, fruit-driven and juicy, with very fine tannins and a clean, long finish. 18,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021. Best after 2022.
