 Wine making in Majorca is a sector that’s growing in the island’s gastronomy. Even though Majorcan wineries don’t have a lot of distribution, it’s drinks are really appreciated by the expert palates. The island has two designations of origin: D.O. Pla i Llevant and D.O Binissalem, but in the Serra de Tramuntana, Pollença, Algaida… we can find nice wines too.

Majorcan wine story begins, as it’s known, in the VII and VI b.C Centuries but the grape cultivation begins with the arrival of the Roman imperium at the island. Nevertheless, during the arabian times it was forbidden to drink wine and it was with King Jaume I when Majorca recovered its wine culture. Nowadays,Majorcan wines are known for its singularity,its high quality and its personality.
