The Vinos de la Tierra (VT) Balearic Islands designation refers to wines produced in this picturesque archipelago off the eastern coast of Spain, in the Mediterranean Sea. This group of islands, including Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, has a unique terroir influenced by a Mediterranean climate characterised by hot, dry summers and mild winters, as well as a constant sea breeze.

The white wines, often crafted from grape varieties such as Prensal Blanc and Chardonnay, reveal a freshness and minerality that may echo the sea breeze. As for the reds, Callet and Manto Negro take centre stage, offering wines with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and subtle earthy notes.
The Vinos de la Tierra Balearic Islands designation is distinguished by its diversity and dynamism. It offers wine enthusiasts the opportunity to discover authentic products increasingly recognised for their quality.
