son simo vell
Son Simó Vell is a pretty 40 hectare Agro-turismo located close to Alcudia, in the north of the island. The finca itself can be rented as an exclusive, private vacation home for up to 16 people (for more details about this, please send us an email enquiry).
Within the grounds of the finca, there is also a small winery called Celler Canyelles i Batle. This is possibly one of the smallest wineries in Mallorca but it oozes charm!
The family come from a long tradition of viticulture on the island of Mallorca. The most renowned wine produced here is Pecat, 'a Mediterranean voluptuous, fresh and seductive red wine that explores the possibilities of a renewed Mallorca' - as stated by a well-known Sommelier, Nicolás Crispino.
The small winery combines traditional techniques with modern technology. The vineyards are at their optimum and are carefully maintained with minimum use of pesticide treatments.
The grape varieties at this vineyard are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Harvesting normally occurs in September and the grapes are selected with great care, by hand.
Only recently, the family decided to open the doors of their celler to fellow wine lovers. Today you now have the opportunity to visit their facilities, stroll through an idyllic environment and taste a selection of their products.
Visiting times at this vineyard are Monday to Friday from 9am to 2.30pm.
