ABOUT THIS WINE
Can Axartell Corum is a white wine from Mallorca, Spain, produced by Can Axartell. The 2020 vintage is primarily crafted from the Malvasia de Banyalbufar grape, a local variety. The winery is situated on a 200-hectare estate in Pollença, which was revitalized with a focus on sustainability and organic farming. The winery itself is integrated into a former stone quarry, enabling a gravity-fed winemaking process. This approach minimizes mechanical stress on the grapes and wine. The wine is aged in large French oak barrels, contributing to its complexity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Can Axartell Corum is produced using the Mètode Gravetat, a gravity-fed winemaking system that minimizes mechanical stress. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 9 to 10 months in large French oak barrels (foudres) and on fine lees. The vineyards are certified organic, with farming practices emphasizing sustainability and the absence of artificial chemicals. The winery's architecture is integrated into a former stone quarry to facilitate the gravity-fed process.
