Anima Negra’s 2009 Quibia is 85% Premsal (an indigenous variety) and 15% Muscat aged in cement tanks on its lees for 3 months. Medium straw-colored, it has a whiff of sea salt, assorted white fruits, and a hint of tropical aromas. Dry, concentrated, and spicy on the palate, it is well-refreshing and lengthy in the finish. Drink it over the next 2 years. Importer: Winebow Inc., New York, NY; www.winebow.com

This is an unusual white blend from Mallorca that uses the native Premsal grape along with 15% Muscat. It smells a little funky and sweaty, and while the feel is angular the palate isn’t bad. Tastes sort of fruitless, with a bit of green melon. O.K. for a weird wine, but it’s hollow and short on flavor.——M.S.(4/1/2011)—— 84
