winemakers 2/4

The rising stars and old glories of Mallorca

The improvement in quality, the addition of new wineries, and the inclusion of new grape varieties make the Mallorca wine map very dynamic.

What makes a legend?

Our vacation in Alicante led us to discover the wines of Gutiérrez de la Vega, whilst dining at Restaurante L'Escaleta, in Cocentaina.

Supply chain challenges in the world of wine

The economy has been stretched, which has led to an increase in the price of services, resources, and basic commodities.

Weird and wonderful grape varieties

There are about 1,400 different types of grapes that are fit for creating wine but we have a tendency to drink wines with the same 5 or 6.

What's that funky smell?

There are a great many aromas and tastes that we all enjoy when we drink a glass of wine, but unfortunately, there are also many defects.

Global warming and its affect on winemaking

Despite the fact that some still deny the scientific evidence, ‘global warming’ is a very real factor in our lives today.

Autumn approaches at Can Vidalet

Can Vidalet was our most recent trip to a winery here in Mallorca, a winery that is hidden away in the countryside, but well positioned.

We need to talk about Alicante

The fields surrounding the little town of Salinas are replete with vines, and everywhere you look there are also olive and almond trees.

How high can you go?

When talking about altitude, there are definitely physical limitations on how high you can plant vines, to be able to create quality wines.
