Vins Can Majoral SAT
Bodega Can Majoral comprises two estates: Son Reus, at an altitude of 190 m, and Son Roig, at 250 m. Both belong to the municipality of Algaida on Mallorca and fall within the 'Pla i Llevant' designation of origin.
Mallorcan viticulture is organised on a very small scale, and extreme summer dryness allows only very modest harvests, which, as is well known, tends to benefit wine quality rather than harm it. There is also considerable pressure to use land profitably for sought-after holiday properties instead. It therefore certainly takes a good deal of idealism for Andreu Oliver to practise viticulture here on 8 ha today.
The mix of grape varieties suggests a healthy combination of curiosity about new grapes and a down-to-earth attachment to local winegrowing tradition. Alongside indigenous varieties, red Manto Negro, Callet, Giró Negre and Gargollassa, and white Giró Blanc and Prensal, he tends a wide range of imported varieties. The Butibalausí range comprises blends made predominantly from native grapes such as Manto Negro and Callet for reds, or Prensal and Parellada for whites. Can Majoral, not yet in our range, represents a somewhat more international style.
The demanding production methods and the wines' rarity on this tourist island naturally lead to a somewhat higher price level. Can Majoral's wines will surely gain a following as a local speciality among returning holidaymakers and true wine connoisseurs alike.
