About Soca-rel Manto Negro-Escursac

The year 2020 is indelibly etched in our memories, isn't it? Yet, in that year of profound change and adaptation, we also experienced positive moments: we managed to rest and disconnect (some more than others), we savored wine in the comfort of our homes (I doubt supermarket shelves will ever be as depleted as they were in those days), and many saw their dreams come to fruition. Among this latter group is Pep Rodríguez with his venture: the micro-winery Soca-Rel.

While his connection to viticulture wasn't new—having worked for producer José Luis Ferrer since the age of 25—Pep didn't fully commit to his own endeavor until 2019, when he initiated his project. It was a modest undertaking, with a very limited and petite production that vanished during the pandemic. Since then, there has been a growing public demand for more, and Pep remains dedicated to his craft (including some experimental batches), of which only three are currently known: the escursac monovarietal, the manto negro monovarietal, and the blend of both in Soca-rel Manto Negro-Escursac.

In total, three wines, five estates, and over eight indigenous grape varieties comprise the portfolio of Soca-Rel. "The potential of indigenous varieties is immeasurable," asserts Pep, who tends his vineyards naturally, with utmost sincerity and attention. The essence of Soca-rel Manto Negro-Escursac  is rooted in the Balearic archipelago, specifically within Mallorca. Here, in the municipality of Consell, Pep cultivates his vineyards, situated between 70 and 140 meters above sea level on fertile soils rich in gravel and stones, which retain water during the drier months. The area, running parallel to the Serra de Tramuntana, is characterized by a Mediterranean climate with dry, hot summers, mild winters, and rainy autumns. Understanding this trinity—soil, climate, and grapes—is the cornerstone of Pep Ortega's work, who describes himself as a "vineyard animal." A proponent of biodiversity, this vinyòvol cultivates all his wines naturally, following biodynamic principles and allowing nature to lead the way. He simply guides the process towards the harvest, when the grapes are handpicked. The adventure continues in the winery, where no chemicals are used in the production of Soca-rel Manto Negro-Escursac Socarel. In this exquisite creation, only the first-press must is used, along with indigenous yeasts and a generous infusion of love and patience.

A passion for the land, biodiversity, and authenticity converge in Soca-rel Manto Negro-Escursac Socarel. A toast to Pep Ortega! And a toast to ventures that always turn out splendidly!
