About 12 Volts

12 Volts is a red wine from VT Mallorca crafted by the winery 4 Kilos in Felanitx. 4 Kilos, a colloquial term for 4 million pesetas, was the initial investment made by Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Caballero to establish the winery. A modest investment in the industry that proves good wine is made not with vast sums of money but with passion and a commitment to quality.

4 Kilos practices rational agriculture, highly respectful of the environment, and with minimal intervention. They use native ground cover, with a rich microbiological population aimed at ensuring good biodiversity in the vineyard. In addition to all this, they benefit from a mild Mediterranean climate, with dry and warm summers and low rainfall.

12 Volts is crafted from the indigenous Mallorcan varieties callet and fogoneu, alongside other red varieties. The grapes are sourced from vineyards cultivated following a rational and low-intervention viticulture approach.

Regarding its production, all the grapes were harvested manually. Once at the winery, maceration and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature initially maintained at 20°C, eventually rising to 28°C. The maceration lasted around 20 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in steel tanks. The final step in the production of 12 Volts was an ageing period of less than a year in 3000-litre foudres and used 225-litre French oak barrels.

According to its creators, Francesc Grimalt and Sergio Caballero, 12 Volts is a red wine that connects with the nervous system and recharges the batteries. If you haven't tried it yet, you're not only missing out on this energy transformation, 12 Volts is also pure vitality! A burst of positive Balearic vibes where the Mallorcan varieties callet and fogoneu embrace the foreign syrah, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot, resulting in a fluid and fruity wine with a long and pleasant finish.
