Mallorca

Styles

Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Summer is characterised by low rainfall, high sunshine hours, and elevated temperatures — factors that induce water stress in the vine.
• Summer water stress results in relatively low grape yields but with a high winemaking potential for wine production.

• The production and commercialisation of wine on the island has held importance throughout history up to the present day, lending Mallorca wine its reputation.
• Pruning and training techniques suited to maintaining appropriate yields are applied, and harvest takes place at the optimal moment to achieve the defined alcoholic strength.

• Mallorca wine displays a high polyphenol content and an optimal alcoholic strength, which give rise to a fruity aroma characteristic of the varieties from which it is produced.
