Can Majoral is a small and very distinctive family winery, founded in 1979. The project was started driven by the desire and the conviction that in Mallorca and specifically in Algaida, high quality organic wines could be produced. It was an adventure and an aspiration. Difficult to say if it was meant to be an experiment or a hobby or just entertainment, but the truth is that after the planting started, gradually, this project has been doing great in all aspects without ever losing sight of the main goal: grow, develop and commercialize unique and quality organic wines.
A truly family winery where father Andreu is the pioneer creator and caretaker of the organic vineyards, nephew Andreu Jr. is winemaker and daughter Mireia, is also winemaker and responsible for the winery and commercial activities.
Varieties: Callet 52% Syrah 26% Tempranillo 14% Mantonegro 8%
Soil: Clay loam composition with abundant percentage of iron oxide that gives them a coppery red color.
Average age of vine:25 years
Vinification process: After a careful selection of grapes, in the vineyard and at the entrance in the winery, each variety from each parcel (plot) is vinificated separately in stainless steel tanks, following the same process: maceration at low temperature during two days and fermenting at 25oC for some 15 to 20 days. In order to obtain a better extraction, the submerged cap method is used. Once the second fermentation is finished, the wine is ready for ageing. No cold stabilization has been applied and there is a chance that tartrate crystals are found in the bottle.
