Ibiza

Ibiza, a sparkling gem in the Mediterranean, is an island located about 80 kilometers southwest of Mallorca. The island, renowned for its vibrant nightlife and stunning natural beauty, is also a treasure trove of viniculture. With its unique elliptical shape and rugged, mountainous terrain, Ibiza provides a distinctive terroir for grape cultivation. The island's warm climate and sparse rainfall contribute to the growth of a variety of grapes, including Monastrell and Malvasia, which are used to produce the island's characteristic types of wine. Despite its relatively small size, Ibiza boasts several hectares of vineyards, producing a significant volume of wine each year. The island's characteristic wines include both Denominación de Origen (DO) and Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOCG) labels, reflecting their high quality and the rich tradition of winemaking in the region.
