It’s entirely possible to go through life eating nothing but comfort foods, reading the latest bestsellers and rotating through the same Spotify playlists. Taking pleasure in the same things repeatedly isn’t a bad thing, we understand the thinking, but we can’t resist trying to tempt people off the beaten path from time to time. This is a delicious and delicate Escursac from Mallorca. It’s pale in colour with a very pretty, enticing nose full of wild strawberries, rosehip, blueberries and sweet cherries with a touch of something herbal. The palate is really fresh and lively with lovely tension, silky and bright, full of charm and with very gentle, fine tannins and delightfully light. Utterly seductive. Organically farmed. 11% alc.

TWA (Luis Gutiérrez): “I love the pale, aromatic, fragile and mysterious 2024 Vins Oblidats Escursac. It comes from a recently recovered varietal and hence from young vines. It fermented with 50% whole clusters with a soft vinification and extraction and was kept in stainless steel until bottling. The variety is known for its low alcohol, and this year it was 11%—something they didn't quite manage in 2023—with a nose of wildflowers and berries, rosehip and hibiscus, something herbal and citrusy. It's fine-boned, with a medium body and very fine tannins, sparkling freshness and pungent flavors. It's simply delicious! Only 1,200 bottles were produced, which is a little bit more than last year. It was bottled in March 2025.” 94 points
