These are the varieties that distinguish the <strong>island of Mallorca<\/strong> from the rest of the Mediterranean wine world, alongside international grapes such as <strong>Chardonnay, Viognier, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vineyards sit predominantly on <strong>limestone soils, often clayey and rich in carbonates<\/strong>. The Serra de Tramuntana mountain range protects the inland areas. Exposure, altitude, and proximity to the sea define significant differences between the Raiguer, the central plain, and the Llevant. The <strong>IGP Mallorca<\/strong> regulations indicate an average annual temperature of 17 degrees, about 427 millimeters of rain, and 2,800 hours of sunshine. These conditions are similar to some areas of Sardinia.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-e1224960\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">MALLORCA: <strong>TWO DOS AND ONE IGP IN 2,000 HECTARES<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mallorca is the largest of the Spanish Balearic archipelago: crossing it by car from one end to the other takes about an hour and a half. Viticulture revolves around <strong>approximately 2,000 hectares of vineyards<\/strong>, a scale comparable to <strong>Brunello di Montalcino Docg<\/strong>. Yet, the Mallorcan wine system includes two designations of origin: <strong>DO Binissalem<\/strong> and <strong>DO Pla i Llevant<\/strong>, both recognized at the European level as PDO.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To these is added <strong>IGP Mallorca<\/strong>, a protected geographical indication known through the traditional mention <strong>Vi de la Terra Mallorca<\/strong>. It is the latter that covers the entire island and authorizes the widest range of varieties. However, there is no sharp divide between local and international grapes: varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Chardonnay are also permitted in the two DOs.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-8e5c9274\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">BETWEEN LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL GRAPE VARIETIES<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference mainly concerns the <strong>composition constraints set by DO Binissalem<\/strong>, which is limited to the municipalities of Binissalem, Consell, Santa Maria del Cam\u00ed, Sencelles, and Santa Eug\u00e8nia. The regulations assign a central role to identity-defining varieties: in reds, <strong>Manto Negro<\/strong> must constitute at least 30% of the blend, while in whites, at least 50% must come from <strong>Moll-Prensal Blanc<\/strong> or Muscat varieties.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update that came into force in February 2026 also introduced the optional mention <strong>\u00abVinyet\u00bb<\/strong>, reserved for wines produced with at least 85% local varieties or Muscat (<strong>Moscatel de Alejandr\u00eda<\/strong> and <strong>Moscatel de grano menudo<\/strong>), obtained from vineyards at least twenty years old, harvested by hand, and subject to stricter yields and sulfur limits.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pla i Llevant, on the other hand, extends over 19 municipalities in the center and east of the island<\/strong>. Today it counts over 500 hectares of vineyards, 85 winegrowers, and 12 wineries. The varietal landscape is complex: Callet, Manto Negro, Fogoneu, Gorgollassa, Prensal Blanc &#8211; locally Moll &#8211; and Gir\u00f3 Ros coexist with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Viognier. The regulations also include Macabeo, Parellada, Riesling, Monastrell, and Tempranillo.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-a3191d62\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>IGP MALLORCA PRODUCES MORE THAN THE TWO DOS COMBINED<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most recent figures confirm the weight of the IGP. In 2025, <strong>Vi de la Terra Mallorca marketed 30,293 hectoliters<\/strong>, compared to 8,383 hectoliters for DO Pla i Llevant and 5,133 for DO Binissalem. The two designations of origin combined reached 13,516 hectoliters: less than half the volume achieved by the IGP.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering only the three Mallorcan designations, Vi de la Terra Mallorca represented <strong>69.1% of the wine marketed<\/strong> and is set to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/2026-mallorca-harvest-begins-early-15829-quintali-of-grapes-already-collected\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirm these figures for the 2026 harvest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The picture is consistent with the <strong>general production trend in the Balearics<\/strong>: in 2025, wines with a designation of origin lost 4.2%, while Vins de la Terra grew by 7%. Total production of quality wines in the archipelago reached 55,126 hectoliters, 3.5% more than in 2024.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-579fe1aa\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>TOWARDS A FUTURE DO MALLORCA?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A similar proportion emerged from the <strong>exclusive tasting organized for Winemag<\/strong> at the DO Pla i Llevant headquarters. Of the 139 wines presented, 91 belong to IGP Mallorca, 36 to DO Pla i Llevant, and 12 to DO Binissalem. The IGP thus represented <strong>65.5% of the samples<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These numbers suggest the possibility\u2014perhaps better called the necessity\u2014of a <strong>future revision of Mallorca&#8217;s local viticultural system<\/strong>, under the unique and identity-driven umbrella of a <strong>potential DO Mallorca<\/strong>. A move towards simplification and clarity for consumers that the market would certainly welcome, especially regarding exports.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results of the tasting, distributed among the two denominations and the geographical indication, are interesting. <strong>Pla i Llevant obtained the highest average<\/strong> and the most regular distribution. <strong>Binissalem recorded the two absolute peaks<\/strong>. <strong>IGP Mallorca showed the greatest stylistic breadth<\/strong>, along with a higher dispersion of scores.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-084364e8\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>IGP MALLORCA: FRUIT, SAPIDITY, AND BREADTH<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 90 IGP wines evaluated obtained an average of 88.64\/100. There are 26 labels, equal to 28.9%, with at least 90 points. None exceeded 92. All four wines with 92 points are whites. <strong>Blanc de Mantonegro 2025 by 7103 Petit Celler<\/strong> combines citrus, Mediterranean scrub, fruit, and sapidity, without any bitter finish.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Sauvignon Blanc 2025 by Maci\u00e0 Batle<\/strong> stands out for fruit maturity, volume, and roundness. <strong>Atrevido 2023 by Oloron<\/strong>, a pure Chardonnay, combines minerality, salt, and a precise use of wood. <strong>Gran Selecci\u00f3n Chardonnay Premsal Blanc by Maci\u00e0 Batle<\/strong> instead focuses on yellow and exotic fruit, freshness, and a citrus finish.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prevalence of whites at the top does not define the entire IGP profile. <strong>Tianna Organic Ros\u00e9 2025 by Tianna Negre<\/strong>, 91 points, is a sapid, spicy, and gastronomic ros\u00e9. <strong>Terra Manto by Karretania<\/strong>, also at 91, interprets Manto Negro in a light and contemporary key, with fruit, pepper, and Mediterranean herbs. The same score went to <strong>Margalida Llompart by Maci\u00e0 Batle<\/strong>, <strong>Bocchoris Blanc 2025 by Tianna Negre<\/strong>, and <strong>Camins de Son Antem Negre 2025<\/strong> from the winery of the same name, Son Antem.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fruit, sapidity, freshness, and good drinkability are the distinctive traits shared by most wines of IGP Mallorca &#8211; Vi de La Terra Mallorca. Manto Negro dominates the scene in the Winemag tasting, ahead of Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a sign of <strong>a rather heterogeneous geographical indication<\/strong>, in which <strong>native varieties represent the main element of recognizability<\/strong>, while coexisting with an important international component.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-winemag-it-davide-bortone-wine-magazine-italiano-guida-vini-wine-news wp-block-embed-winemag-it-davide-bortone-wine-magazine-italiano-guida-vini-wine-news\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"pkks2uxDjl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/best-wines-of-mallorca-pgi-mallorca-scores-vi-de-la-terra-mallorca-balearic-islands\/\">Best wines of Mallorca: PGI Mallorca scores &#8211; Vi de La Terra (Mallorca, Balearic Islands)<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cBest wines of Mallorca: PGI Mallorca scores \u2013 Vi de La Terra (Mallorca, Balearic Islands)\u201d \u2014 Winemag.it - Davide Bortone: wine magazine italiano, guida vini, wine news\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/best-wines-of-mallorca-pgi-mallorca-scores-vi-de-la-terra-mallorca-balearic-islands\/embed\/#?secret=oMgxY2e8ih#?secret=pkks2uxDjl\" data-secret=\"pkks2uxDjl\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-77df3c22\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>PLA I LLEVANT: THE MOST CONSISTENT DENOMINATION<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pla i Llevant obtained the highest average of the tasting<\/strong>: 89.78\/100. None of the 36 wines fell below 87\/100. There are 20 labels, 55.6%, evaluated at least 90 points. Three reached 93. <strong>Ses Hereves 2022 by Vins Toni Gelabert<\/strong>, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, associates a tannic texture with a mineral and sapid vein. The result is a drink with character, elegantly rustic.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Torre des Canonge Negre 2021<\/strong>, from the same winery, works instead on aromatic herbs and purity of fruit, enhancing the contribution of Pinot Noir in the blend. A hat-trick for Vins Toni Gelabert\u2014a Mallorca winery not to be missed\u2014thanks to the <strong>Chardonnay 2025<\/strong> which completes the trio of 93-point wines with citrus, flowers, and a <strong>well-defined minerality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gir\u00f3 Ros<\/strong> emerges in <strong>Torre des Canonge Blanc 2025<\/strong>, 92 points: a wine with a singular profile, with measured wood and a slight tannic grip. <strong>Blanc Selecci\u00f3 2023<\/strong>, a blend of Macabeu and Viognier, reaches the same score thanks to floral notes, <strong>exotic fruit, minerality, and depth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A balanced fruity component, drinkability, aromaticity, and sapidity constitute the other main pillars of the samples tasted. In the whites, citrus drive, floral components, and minerality prevail. The reds show more structure, spice, balsamicity, and Mediterranean herbs, with tannins and alcohol often well integrated. When the fruit becomes riper and the sensation of heat increases, the scores tend to drop towards the 87-89 range.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-winemag-it-davide-bortone-wine-magazine-italiano-guida-vini-wine-news wp-block-embed-winemag-it-davide-bortone-wine-magazine-italiano-guida-vini-wine-news\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"OpB9MhUOiZ\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/best-wines-of-mallorca-do-pla-i-llevant-scores-mallorca-balearic-islands\/\">Best wines of Mallorca: DO Pla i Llevant scores (Mallorca, Balearic Islands)<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cBest wines of Mallorca: DO Pla i Llevant scores (Mallorca, Balearic Islands)\u201d \u2014 Winemag.it - Davide Bortone: wine magazine italiano, guida vini, wine news\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/best-wines-of-mallorca-do-pla-i-llevant-scores-mallorca-balearic-islands\/embed\/#?secret=NTxpjqoIRt#?secret=OpB9MhUOiZ\" data-secret=\"OpB9MhUOiZ\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-22462f3c\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>BINISSALEM: FEWER WINES, HIGHER PEAKS<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Binissalem is represented by only 12 samples in the Winemag tasting of Mallorca wines.

IGP Mallorca dominates in terms of hectares, production, and variety of interpretations. Pla i Llevant presents the most consistent picture, with the highest average and over half of the wines above 90 points. Binissalem, despite the smallest sample, claims the two best absolute results.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The common point is the growing weight of local grapes<\/strong>. Manto Negro, Gir\u00f3 Ros, Callet, Prensal Blanc, and Gorgollassa are no longer just a territorial reference included in blends. In the most convincing wines, they become the element that separates Mallorca from any other Mediterranean or international region.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But <strong>what is perhaps even more surprising are the expressions of international varieties<\/strong>, which in Mallorca shed some of their most common traits to make room for the voice of the island&#8217;s terroir. Whites, reds, and ros\u00e9s perform very well in these parts, dressed in typical Mallorcan Mediterranean character.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with a simplification of the three designations under a single &#8220;administrative umbrella,&#8221; the key to the future success of the Balearic island is here: and it rhymes, once again, with &#8220;authenticity.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-69b57616\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">WHERE TO EAT IN MALLORCA: THE RESTAURANT NOT TO BE MISSED IS TOMEU CALDENTEY CULINER<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DOVE-MANGIARE-A-MAIORCA-IL-RISTORANTE-DA-NON-PERDERE-e-TOMEU-CALDENTEY-CULINER-a-sa-coma-llevant.jpg\" alt=\"WHERE TO EAT IN MALLORCA THE RESTAURANT NOT TO BE MISSED IS TOMEU CALDENTEY CULINER\" class=\"wp-image-105327\" title=\"WHERE TO EAT IN MALLORCA THE RESTAURANT NOT TO BE MISSED IS TOMEU CALDENTEY CULINER\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DOVE-MANGIARE-A-MAIORCA-IL-RISTORANTE-DA-NON-PERDERE-e-TOMEU-CALDENTEY-CULINER-a-sa-coma-llevant.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DOVE-MANGIARE-A-MAIORCA-IL-RISTORANTE-DA-NON-PERDERE-e-TOMEU-CALDENTEY-CULINER-a-sa-coma-llevant-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tomeu Caldentey Culiner<\/strong> seems designed specifically to synthesize the soul of the island&#8217;s wines.

Nothing to do with <strong>Restaurante Vista Mar in Sant Elm<\/strong>, the most famous (and very valid) destination for lovers of the traditional Spanish dish in Mallorca, in the far west of the island.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ca&#8217;n Tauleta<\/strong> is located in the center of Porto Cristo, at Carrer de la Mar 11, a few steps from the port. The setting is (very) simple and (completely) informal. You come here in shorts, although no one would look twice even at a swimsuit. You come here for the rice or, rather, for the <em>arroz<\/em>. The <em>arroces<\/em>, rice-based dishes, are served at the table or prepared for takeaway.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absolute protagonist is in fact the <strong>fish and seafood paella<\/strong>, flanked by the mixed version, arroz negro, and fideu\u00e0. Generous preparations, with clean flavors and without unnecessary complications, which have built the restaurant&#8217;s reputation among residents and tourists.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Average prices are approximately <strong>between 20 and 30 euros per person<\/strong> and, especially in high season, it is advisable to book. For the most refined palates\u2014and heaviest wallets\u2014not to be missed is also <strong>the lobster paella at 70 euros per person<\/strong>. Perhaps bringing your own wine from home: the host probably won&#8217;t say no, if notified in time.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guide to the best wines of Mallorca: Vi de La Terra Mallorca, Benissalem, and Pla i Llevant. 139 tastings with scores and two of the island&#8217;s best restaurants not to be missed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105349,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[82554,82420,82302,82271,82440],"tags":[90297,90307,90268,90300,90280,90265,90305,90281,90133,90302,90270,90312,90301,90304,90303,90311,90266,90278,90309,90310,90289,90134,90308,90299,90130,90306,90313,90298],"class_list":["post-105350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-news-wine","category-restaurants-and-food","category-reviews-and-scores","category-wine-news","category-wine-tourism","tag-balearic-wine","tag-best-restaurants-in-mallorca","tag-best-wines-of-majorca","tag-can-tauleta","tag-callet","tag-do-binissalem","tag-do-mallorca","tag-do-pla-i-llevant","tag-giro-ros","tag-gorgollassa","tag-majorca-wine-scores","tag-mallorca-wine-2","tag-mallorca-wine-tasting","tag-mallorca-wine-tourism","tag-mallorca-wineries","tag-mallorcan-cuisine","tag-manto-negro","tag-native-majorca-grape-varieties","tag-paella-in-mallorca","tag-paella-porto-cristo","tag-pgi-mallorca","tag-prensal-blanc","tag-sa-coma-restaurants","tag-tomeu-caldentey-cuiner","tag-vi-de-la-terra-mallorca","tag-where-to-eat-in-mallorca","tag-winemag-tasting-3","tag-wines-of-mallorca"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.3 (Yoast SEO v28.3) -
