3. bodega Ribas
Founded in 1711 and family owned since 1836, Bodega Ribas is now one of the most famous and prestigious wineries on the island. The history of Bodega Ribas began more than 300 years ago, when the Ribas family came to Mallorca from Catalonia and began to grow wine. The family was quickly successful and wine growing became the core business of the family. The estate of Bodega Ribas was subsequently expanded and modernized, but without neglecting the old traditions. This wine is also an absolute quality wine.
The vineyards of Bodega Ribas cover an area of about 40 hectares and are located near the town of Consell, in the heart of Mallorca. Here the climate is Mediterranean, with warm summers and mild winters, ideal for growing grapes. Bodega Ribas today produces mainly red wines from autochthonous grape varieties such as Manto Negro, Callet and Fogoneu, as well as international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
A special highlight of Bodega Ribas is the so-called "Taller de Vino", a kind of wine workshop where visitors can experience the different steps of winemaking up close. Here you can learn about the work in the vineyard and proper storage, get to know the different grape varieties and their characteristics and finally taste the finished wine. An unforgettable experience for every wine lover!
