Jugo Vins 〰️
Background: Founded in 2020 by Charlie Prymaka, Jugo Vins is based in Santa Margalida, Mallorca. Prymaka, a former Les Caves de Pyrene representative, worked in wine for over a decade in NYC and London, with vintages in the US, Australia, and Spain. In 2019, he settled in Mallorca, learning from local winemaker Cati Ribot before starting Jugo Vins with Lauren Duttenhofer.
Wines: Jugo Vins produces organic, low-sulfur, glou-glou-style wines using indigenous Mallorcan varieties (e.g., Giro Ros, Prensal, Callet) and some international grapes (Syrah, Moscatell). Key wines include:
Jugosa 2023 (Syrah, Moscatell): A vibrant red with cherry, strawberry, and peach notes.
Do It Fluid 2023 (red blend): Easy-drinking, fruit-forward.
Molt Bo (Giro Ros): Light, low-sulfur white.
Pillow Talk (blend): Natural, low-intervention.
Production: Works with organic farmers across Mallorca, focusing on young vines of indigenous varieties and older Syrah/Moscatell. Wines are made with no additions, aiming for fresh, fun, chillable styles. Production is small, typical of natural wine projects.
Style: Known for “bottled Mallorcan sunshine,” these wines are aromatic, energetic, and designed for casual enjoyment, often vegan-friendly
