FINCA DE LOS DOS CABALLEROS
VINEYARD
The vineyard is a dream come true for the owners, but for one of them, winemaking is a family tradition. Growing up on a vineyard in Germany, watching his grandfather tend to the vines year after year, cultivated a deep love for viticulture and was ultimately the inspiration for this unique project.
Los Dos Caballeros
With the help of a local winemaker and after a careful analysis of the soil and the climatic conditions, the project was born.
The owners decided to plant three grape varieties; sauvignon blanc, merlot and grenache which allow them to produce a white, red and a rosé wine.
Wine & Grapes
The white wine is a sauvignon blanc, which is dry yet fruity. This varietal is planted in front of the pool and main house and therefore is the portion of the vineyard directly visible from the accomodations.
The red grapes are grenache (garnacha), a very old and heat resistant grape varietal from Spain, which we mainly use to produce a Provence style rosé. These vines are grown in the more rocky and sandy parts of our vineyard. The second red grape is merlot, which will add body and color to our future red wines, planned to be a grenache and merlot blend.
The merlot grapes are located in the fields at the entrance to the winery, while the grapes for the rosé are planted on the fields to the left and right of the sauvignon blanc in front of the main house.
Sustainability
At Los Dos Caballeros, we care for the environment and try to be sustainable wherever possible. We have installed a state of the art solar energy system which delivers power to the whole finca. We elected not to connect to the power grid so that we can remain completely self-sufficient by using only renewable energy. We implement eco-friendly farming practices and never use harmful chemicals or pesticides. We take sustainablity all the way to our locally produced wine bottles made of recycled glass.
The Online Shop
In the future we will sell our wine in our bodega which is in the planning stages. However, our wine is available in our online shop and select restaurants in Mallorca and Barcelona. Shipping on the island of Mallorca is free. To view shipping charges to your address in Europe please visit our shop.
