WINE SELECTION 2011
Good taste is not coincidence.
It is tradition.
The ideal location of our bodega was known to the Romans as early as 123 BC.
They were the first to grow vines on the land where Ca’n Vidalet now stands.
This makes the area around Pollensa in the north of Mallorca among the
oldest winegrowing regions in the world. When the current owners started to
cultivate the land, they found remains of vines and installations attesting to
viniculture hundreds of years ago. The owner’s dream of his own wine could
become true!
So, after a very long period of fallow, the first vines were planted on these
historic hills in 1996. Today, Ca’n Vidalet produces fresh and fruity wines with
complex aromas, from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Moscatell grapes.
These white wines serve as an excellent accompaniment to Mediterranean
cuisine. Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are the red wine grape
varieties grown at Ca’n Vidalet. Wine made from these grapes has an intense
colour and hearty flavour and competes successfully with the best-known
international wines.
