WINE PROJECTS FOR THE FUTURE

At present ten hectares (about 25 acres) of the first phase have been planted with some forty thousand grape vines. The noble varieties of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Monastrell have been planted to make red wine, chosen so as to obtain wines of great personality that at the same time have an unmistakable Mediterranean character. For the white grape varieties Malvasia was chosen, a grape that made Majorcan wine famous from the 16th to 18th centuries and which for some time has been recovering in our islands.

The first wine was produced in our facilities in 2005, with a production of some 50,000 litres. The remaining land will be progressively planted to give an eventual annual production of some 100.000 litres.

Another project begun by Vinyas de Mortitx in collaboration with the Agricultural Counsellor of the Balearic Government consists in the small scale experimental planting of local grape varieties, in order to find out which are best adapted to this area. The objective is as always to obtain a product of maximum quality that the consumer will know how to appreciate. In this way we hope to be able to offer a wine with a Mediterranean flavour as a distinguishing element.
