If you are coming to Mallorca or if you live in Mallorca, and you are interested in Mallorcan wines, we have prepared a list of 8 recommended Mallorcan wines by one of the top sommeliers in the island. We didn\u2019t want to do the \u201cstandard\u201d list or a \u201csponsored\u201d list, we wanted to do a list including wines that are unique and so we have selected wines showing how the island is. We hope you enjoy this list, cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mallorcan white\nwine by 7103 Petit Celler<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

7103 Petit Celler is a\nsmall local bodega built by two young Mallorcan men. Sebastia comes from a\nfamily dedicated to wine and he is agriculture engineer. Pep is also an engineer\nand enology student. Both have their ideas very clear, and they produce quality\nwines, with small productions and the grapes coming from their own vineyard. Their\nwines are based on the local varieties, Mantonegro (red grape) and Premsal\nBlanc (white grape). As a curiosity, the name 7103 makes reference to the\nmeters of a \u201ccuarterada\u201d which is a typical surface measurement in Mallorca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very good\nstart on our Mallorca wine recommended list as it is a very fresh wine,\nelaborated 100% with a local variety of grapes, from a small wine bodega, very\neasy to drink and with an attractive label. Tropical fruit, apple and honey\naromas, palate, reminding mature pineapple. And it is only 11\u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son Agullo\nMantonegro <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What a surprise this\nwine! Since a few years ago, some \u201cadventurous\u201d wine cellars have decided to go\nfor 100% manto negro red wines, while before they were doing a coupage with\nforeign varieties such as Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah\u2026 Can Verdura wine cellar is\none of them.  The Mantonegro is the most\nextended variety of grape in the Binissalem wine area, but until recently it\nwas not taken much into account because its lack of colour and because it was\nthought it was not a good variety to age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grapes come from a\n63 years old plot in Pla del Buc close to Santa Maria village. It has been\nfermented in French oak tank and aging for 13 months in 600 liters French oak\nbarrels, and then stands in the bottle for 3 months. The result is a\nspectacular wine. It is a very delicate wine, reminds you of a Pinot noir from\nBourgogne, fresh with delicate fruit, a gem in Mallorca\u2019s wine panorama. The\nonly negative is the price, about 34\u20ac, due to the small quantity produced (800\nbottles) and the fact they only get 1600 kilos per acre. It you prefer\nsomething on a lower price range, their Supernova is a great option for around\n10\u20ac and it is also 100% manto negro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giro Blanc Mallorcan wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Miquel Oliver is a\nwine cellar from Petra in the inland area of Mallorca that produces a wide\nvariety of wine. Our bet is QBQ, a white wine made with a local variety called\nGiro Blanc \/ Giro Ros. The name is an abbreviation of \u201cwhat a good wine\u201d in our\nlocal dialect \u201cque bo que \u00e9s\u201d. This variety of grape was about to disappear,\nand then thanks to the efforts of some wine makers from Mallorca it has been\nrecuperated. It creates amazing and unique wines that you can find just here in\nMallorca, with a complex body and full of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wine has a golden\ncolour, medium aroma intensity and elegant aromas. In the mouth, we find exotic\nfruits (pineapple, mango\u2026), some citrus and herbs notes and very intense. It is\ncertainly very different, and either this one or another option, we highly\nrecommend to taste a wine with giro blanc. The price is about 25\u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Xanet Bodega:\nSibila wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a small bodega\nsituated close to Pollensa created in 2010. From the beginning they had the\nidea very clear, and it was to produce fine and elegant quality wines in small\nproductions and with local grape varieties. From the start, they had the help\nand direction by Raul Perez, a famous wine maker from Spain. In 2013 due to the\nhigh volume of work he has, he had to ask to his friend Dominique Roujou de\nBouvee to be in charge. He also produces wines in other areas of Spain, for\nexample in Priorat, Valencia and Galicia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wine Sibila is\nmade using the local variety Gargollasa. This type of grape around 10 years ago\nwas nearly disappeared, in fact there are less than 10 hectares on the entire\nisland.  It is a delicate wine that\nreminds us of a pinot noir. It is aged for a year in oak barrels and then a\nyear in bottle, before being released on sale. The price is 32\u20ac. Only 1500\nbottles are produced per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ses Hereves by Toni\nGelabert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toni Gelabert is a small family celler from Manacor. They started in 1979, and their cellar is situated in the outskirts of Manacor, in the finca Son Fangos. It is made with 3 grape varieties: 33% Cabernet, 33% Merlot y 33% Syrah . It has 14% alcoholo, aged 12 month in French oak barrel and its price is around 23\u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mallorca<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Indiot by 4 Kilos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This wine is elaborated by one of the most renowned wine makers in Mallorca, Francesc Grimalt, in collaboration with the wine shop La Vinoteca. He is the owner and wine maker of 4 Kilos wine celler in Felanitx. The name \u201cIndiot\u201d translated into English means \u201cturkey\u201d, and the label is a drawing of bird feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wine is 90%\ncallet and 10% mantonegro. The vineyards are situated close to the Binissalem and\nManacor.  It is a light and fresh wine,\nwith only 12% alcohol that has aged 12 months in 3000 liters capacity barrels\nand then in stainless steel deposits. The wine is very fresh, aromatic and with\nherb notes. The price is 15\u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1912 by Miquel\nOliver<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1912 Melchor Oliver\nstarted his wine cellar in the small village of Petra. More than 100 years\nlater, the bodega is one of the main producers on the island, and it is run by his\ngreat-granddaughter Pilar Oliver. She created this wine to celebrate the\n100-year anniversary. The wine costs around 22\u20ac, and it is produced with\ncabernet and merlot. Even though these are not local varieties, we believe this\nwine should be on this list due to the high quality wines from this bodega and\nfor their hard work on these 100 years promoting the Mallorcan wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to opt\nfor a more standard wine, we recommend you the white Muscat or the red\nMontferrutx which is the first wine they bottled. Also AIA and Xperiment are\nwell worth, both created by Pilar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colom de Penya\nby Miquel Gelabert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Pla and Llevant\narea wine area produces fabulous wines, and one of the most known producers is\nMiquel Gelabert. He produces a wide variety of wines, covering everything, from\nwhite to red and sweet wines too. This is our most expensive wine\nrecommendation with a price of around 70\u20ac. It is his masterpiece by selecting\nthe best grapes from his vineyards and putting 30 years of experience into\nproducing this red wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has 10 different varieties of grapes, some local and some foreign varieties. It is aged 12 months in new French oak barrels and after that, in the bottle. The wine is intense and complex in nose with mature red fruit with spices, mint and a small hint of vanilla from the oak barrels. In the mouth is elegant and with plenty of structure. It will age well, and it matches perfectly with red meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
