2 WINES OF MALLORCA Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.P.) BINISSALEM Binissalem is located in the centre of the island of Majorca at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana. This mountain range protects the zone from the cold northerly winds, creating its characteristic microclimate. The limestone soil yields grapes with perfect ripeness and wines that are full-bodied and suitable for barrel aging. The principal native varieties are Manto Negro and Premsal Blanc, also known as Moll. Other lesser used native varieties of red grape that are permitted are Gollassa and Callet, and of white grape, Giró Ros. Standards require that red wines should contain at least 30% of Manto Negro grapes, and white wines, at least 50% of Premsal Blanc or Muscat grapes. Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.P.) PLA i LLEVANT The vineyards are located practically at sea level with the entire growing cycle being greatly influenced by the sea breeze. At midday, the wind blows inland from the sea, refreshing the vines and also bringing moisture and sea salt, which is organoleptically present in the wines produced. The clay limestone soil is rich in minerals and is a reddy colour owing to its iron content, and is known in Majorca as Call vermell. It contributes to the optimum ripeness of the vines and high sugar levels, which consequently yield wines with a good alcohol content and which are suitable for aging. The native varieties of red grape are Callet, Fogoneu, Gorgollasa and Manto Negro, whilst the native varieties of white grape are Giró Ros and Premsal Blanc (or Moll). 2

3 WINES OF MALLORCA Protected Geographical Indication (I.G.P.). SERRA DE TRAMUNTANA - COSTA NORD The Protected Geographical Indication of the Northern Coast encompasses the municipalities located in the Tramuntana Mountain Range, from Alcúdia to Andratx. The contrast between the mountains rising more than 1,000 m in height and the gentle valleys dotted amongst these are the main feature of this zone. Owing to the difficult terrain, the vineyards are cultivated on terraces which means that all vine work is done wholly by hand, bestowing the wines produced with an outstanding quality. With regard to varieties, huge strides have been made in the recuperation of the native variety of the Malvasia grape, with Banyalbufar being the main producer. Protected Geographical Indication (I.G.P.) MALLORCA The Protected Geographical Indication Mallorca, or equally, Vino de la Tierra Mallorca covers wines produced across the entire island of Majorca. The permitted native varieties of red grape are Callet, Manto Negro, Fogoneu and Gorgollassa, whilst the permitted native varieties of white grape are Premsal Blanc (or Moll) and Giró Ros. 3
