ABOUT THIS WINE

The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, with the vineyards situated on limestone-rich soils under a warm Mediterranean climate. The estate's development was notably influenced by the late Patrick Léon, a winemaker with extensive experience in Bordeaux, who guided the vineyard and cellar practices. The 2018 vintage is considered a particularly strong year for the winery.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Bodega Son Mayol produces its Grand Vin using grapes from various vineyard locations across Mallorca, with each terroir vinified separately. The winery utilizes a gravity-fed system, where grapes are transferred directly into fermentation vessels without the use of pumps. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in French oak barrels for 14 months. Sustainable viticulture practices are a part of the estate's approach to grape cultivation.
