Mallorca in a Glass: Son Prim Wines

During the time I lived in Spain, one of my most memorable trips was a long weekend escape to Mallorca. I can still recall the beautiful blue waters, sandy beaches, sugary ensaimada pastries, and fragrant lemon trees growing in lush backyards. These memories came flooding back in Technicolor when I sipped Son Prim wines.

Located in Sencelles (Mallorca), Son Prim is a family winery named after their home. The Llabrés family had been making wine in their small cellar for years for private consumption and built their commercial winery in 2003.

Son Prim produces several varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. I found their Cup wine deliciously interesting. A balanced blend of Majorcan Mantonegro grape, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Cup is a regal full-bodied red that tastes of ripe berries with hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and woodiness. Sipping Son Prim really made me feel as if I were back in Mallorca even though I was actually in the middle of Manhattan at the New York Wine Expo.

Son Prim wines retail for $26.95 - $29.95. For more information, visit the Son Prim and Specialty Wines & More, Inc. websites.
