Vintage: 2024. Strange vintage. Winter without snow in the mountains and cold only at times. Lack of rain in winter and spring. Drought year. In August, torrential and abundant rains in the eastern part of Mallorca (in some places up to 200 liters). Harvests in some cases advanced up to 2 weeks earlier than usual. Health and quality of the grapes good in general. Gradations and harvest times are very variable depending on each area and variety. Year of very low yield, obtaining up to 30% or 40% less must per kilo of grapes.

Selva Vins. First winery in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands to make a clarete wine.
