Wine of the Week 🍷

This week we’re shining a light on one of our absolute favourite expressions of Manto Negro.

Produced by Soca-Rel, a tiny micro winery led by Pep Rodríguez, this wine is Mallorcan through and through. In fact, Soca-Rel is a local expression that roughly translates to “through and through local” and that philosophy runs through everything they do.

Made from 100% Manto Negro, this organic wine is hand harvested, fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered, and gently extracted in stainless steel to preserve the grape’s freshness and purity.

At first glance, it often catches people by surprise. Its pale colour suggests something light and delicate, but the first sip reveals juicy raspberries and cherries, subtle floral notes, Mediterranean herbs and an incredible depth of character.

Served slightly chilled, it’s one of our favourite reds for warmer days and a brilliant example of just how exciting Mallorca’s indigenous grape varieties can be.

If you’ve never tried Manto Negro before, this is a wonderful place to start. 🤍🍷

Could you tell the difference between a red and a white wine if you couldn’t see the colour? 🍷👀

Believe it or not, wine professionals often use opaque black wine glasses during blind tastings to remove one of our biggest sources of bias: colour.

Without seeing what’s in the glass, even experienced tasters can begin questioning whether they’re drinking a red or a white. A light, fresh red can suddenly seem surprisingly “white wine-like,” while a rich, textured white can feel as though it ought to be red.

Why? Because our brains rely on visual cues just as much as our senses. Before we’ve even taken a sip, the colour of the wine has already shaped what we expect to taste.

It’s a brilliant reminder that wine tasting is as much about psychology as it is about what’s in the glass.

Hi! We’re Rebecca & Theone, the founders of Olive & Vine 😊🍷

It’s been a long journey to get here but what a fun one it’s been!

We first met in 2009 in the South of France, when we were both working on superyachts. Little did we know that 17 years later, we’d still be best friends, have both left the yachting world, taken on the very challenging WSET Diploma in Wines, and ended up starting a wine business together!

We’re passionate about wine, travel, great food and, most importantly, the stories and people behind every bottle. 🍇🥂

So, if you’re new here, welcome and if you’ve been following along for a while, thanks for being part of the journey!

Sunshine, sea, great company and a few of Mallorca’s wonderful wines… 🍷☀️🌊

We recently spent the afternoon aboard a traditional Mallorcan llaüt, tasting a selection of local wines while cruising the coastline.

There was plenty of laughter, lots of conversation and, of course, some fantastic wines to discover. It was a lovely reminder that wine is about so much more than what’s in the glass. It’s about slowing down, sharing stories and creating memories together.

Days like this are what it’s all about. ❤️

Winery Spotlight | 🍷

Some wineries stay with you long after you’ve left, and for me (Becs), Macià Batle will always be one of them.

In 2022, while studying for my WSET Diploma in Wines, I had the opportunity to work here, welcoming visitors from all over the world and leading tastings in the bodega. It was an experience that taught me so much and deepened my appreciation for Mallorcan wine, especially the island’s wonderful indigenous grape varieties.

Founded in 1856, Macià Batle is one of Mallorca’s oldest wineries, but one of the things I love most is how it combines wine with art. Every year, a different renowned artist designs the label for their Col·lecció Privada red wine, and the artwork is displayed throughout the winery. It feels as much like an art gallery as it does a winery.

Another reason I often recommend it is how easy it is to visit. Located in Santa Maria, it’s just a short train ride from Palma followed by a ten minute walk, making it one of the most accessible wineries on the island if you don’t have a car.

And if you’re lucky, your visit might even finish with Ramón Servalls Batle, a direct descendant of founder Macià Batle, playing the traditional Mallorcan xeremies. It’s one of those moments that perfectly captures the spirit of Mallorca.

If you’re looking to discover more of the island’s wine culture, this is a wonderful place to start. 🤍🍷

Bubbles, brunch & beautiful company. 🥂✨

Some of our favourite moments happen around the table.

Whether it’s one of our signature grazing tables, artisan cheese boards, a beautifully prepared brunch, or a private chef creating something truly special, we believe great food deserves great company.

Add a glass of bubbles, a thoughtfully styled table, and your favourite people, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a memorable day in Mallorca.

We’ll take care of every detail, so all you have to do is arrive, relax and enjoy. 🤍

Earlier this summer we headed to Rioja with 20 other wine lovers from around the world for three unforgettable days exploring one of Spain’s most iconic wine regions.

We discovered incredible wines while getting to know the fascinating people and stories behind them. From wandering through historic vineyards and ancient underground cellars to enjoying amazing local food and exploring the vibrant city of Logroño, every day offered something new to learn.

A few things you might not know about Rioja:

🍇 Rioja is divided into three sub-regions — Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, each with its own climate, soils and wine styles.

🍷 Tempranillo is the region’s star grape, but Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo, also play an important role in Rioja’s wines and blends.

⏳ Ageing is central to Rioja’s identity. Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva indicate different minimum ageing requirements, reflecting the region’s long tradition of maturing wines before release.

🏆 Rioja was Spain’s first DOCa. It was awarded Denominación de Origen Calificada status in 1991 — the highest level of Spanish wine classification.

🥂 And Rioja isn’t just about red wine. The region produces some exceptional white wines too, particularly Viura-based examples that can develop beautifully complex flavours with oak and bottle age.

A huge thank you to Ivan and Lara from for organising such a fantastic few days. We came home feeling inspired and with plenty of stories to share over the coming weeks.

There are surprise dinners… and then there are surprise wine tastings in the Mallorcan mountains. 🤍🍷

This beautiful evening was planned as a surprise for the bride, and being trusted to play a small part in such a special celebration genuinely meant so much to us.

There’s something incredibly special about bringing people together around a table. Watching friends slow down, share stories, discover new wines and celebrate someone they love is exactly why we do what we do.

As the sun set over the Tramuntana mountains, we explored a selection of hand picked Mallorcan wines, enjoyed a beautiful grazing table, and spent the evening laughing, learning and creating memories together.

To the wonderful bride and all of her friends, thank you for letting us be part of such a memorable chapter. We hope it’s an evening you’ll all remember for years to come. 🤍

**Did you know? 🍷**

Almost every European wine vine has a little piece of North America underneath it.

In the 1860s, a tiny aphid-like insect called phylloxera crossed the Atlantic from North America and began attacking European grapevines.

It was devastating: the pest eventually destroyed huge parts of Europe’s vineyards, including an estimated two-thirds of the continent’s vines.

Then came the twist: American grapevines had evolved alongside phylloxera, so their roots were naturally resistant.

Scientists discovered they could graft European wine grapes onto American roots, keeping the beloved European varieties while protecting them from the pest.

So your French, Italian or Spanish wine may have a very American "foot” — even though the grapes, wine and centuries-old tradition are unmistakably European. 🍇🇺🇸🇪🇺
