Balearic Islands

The Balearic Islands are an archipelago located in the Mediterranean Sea, off the eastern coast of Spain. The islands are known for their beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant nightlife. The Balearic Islands are also home to a small but growing wine industry, with a focus on producing high-quality wines from local grape varieties.

The main grape varieties grown in the Balearic Islands are Callet, Manto Negro, and Prensal Blanc. These grapes are used to produce a range of red, white, and rosé wines, as well as some sparkling wines. The wines are typically light-bodied and fresh, with bright fruit flavors and a crisp acidity.

The Balearic Islands, including Mallorca and Ibiza, boast a winemaking tradition dating back to Phoenician times. Its signature grape, Callet, contributes to bold red blends. "Callet" may stem from "cal," meaning "hot," acknowledging the grape's ability to ripen in warm climates.
