Wines of Menorca, the taste of the earth, the sea and the wind<\/h1>\r\n

There’s no doubt about the quality of many of the wines produced in Menorca. Treat yourself to a taste of Menorca with a glass of wine from the island\u2019s geographical denomination \u201cVi de la Terra Illa de Menorca\u201d.<\/h2>\r\n

In 1231 the Moors that occupied the island presented King James I with a gift of Menorcan wine. Subsequently, the need to provide for the British ships that stocked up with supplies in the port of Ma\u00f3 during the British domination of Menorca in the nineteenth century led to an increase in wine production and at its height the island boasted 1,500 ha of vineyards. Once Menorca returned to Spanish hands and with the advent of the Phylloxera crisis wine production decreased gradually until by the 1980s wine was only produced for home consumption.<\/p>\r\n

Nevertheless, since reaching this low point, new projects have sprung up and born fruit, and in 2002 a geographical denomination “Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca”<\/b> was awarded to the island\u2019s wines. The typical Menorcan wine is red, made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It is brilliant cherry in colour, with bouquets of red fruit and spices. To the taste, it is well-rounded, mid-range, well-structured and balanced. White wine is also produced, but only from Chardonnay and Malvasia grapes. Give yourself a treat and try a glass. You won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\r\n
