Mina Magnolias Liquor

A unique recipe of Bellmunt del Priorat following the original ones of the townspeople, made with hand-picked magnolias: soft, traditional and floral.

Ratafía Mina is the first bottled ratafía of hand-picked magnolias from Bellmunt del Priorat.

Tradition says that fresh petals of the magnolia flower must be macerated in brandy for 40 days, along with other balsamic plants and then sweetened with sugar. These flowers have the peculiarity that they only last one day from when the petals open and emit a very special perfume.

Ratafía Mina drinks from this tradition and the magnolia petals are macerated with elderberry and orange flowers, spices and green walnuts in different demijohns in the sun on the winery's patio. The blend is made and it is left to age in oak wood to round off the product. It is very intense and floral, with very fragrant notes of magnolia, elderberry and orange.

It is a rather dry ratafía, with little added sugar and that wants to reinterpret tradition to bring ratafía closer to current tastes.
