They cultivate both Mallorcan grape varieties (manto negro, callet, giró and premsal) and other varieties of red (cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, sirah, ull de llebre and garnatxa) and white (chardonnay, riesling, viognier, xarel.ló and parellada). At present, they produce two different brands: Can Majoral and Butibalausí.
Vins Toni Gelabert Toni Gelabert has five hectares of cordon-trained vines, cultivated using the cordon de royat pruning system, (leaving eight spurs per vine). He produces an average of two to three kilos of grapes per vine per year. The earth is fertilized with biological nutrients and, in the cultivation, pruning, harvesting, transfer and bottling processes, the age-old system of biodynamics is used
Es Verger Situated at 400m above sea level, in the Sierra Tramontana, this small family winemaker prodces four organic wines. At Mallorca week they are showcasing Ses Marjades and Els Rojals.
