A spectacular wine – the perfect sundowner and a must have on your holidays in Menorca: the delicious wines produced on the Balearic Islands are an absolute delight to toast a perfect day spent discovering the island or after a sunny day spent on one of the wonderful beaches. Why not buy a property in Menorca and enjoy the delectable wines of the island whenever you want? Let the local real estate agent Engel & Völkers Menorca give you sound advice about buying a house on the island.

Menorca has many excellent vineyards and is a popular destination for wine lovers - the ideal Mediterranean climate with little rain provides the best conditions for producing high-quality wines.

In 2002, Menorca obtained the Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca label, which is a protected geographical indication that certifies the origin and high quality of the wines produced on the island. This designation of origin at the same time highlights Menorca's long winemaking tradition. It is worth mentioning that the special characteristics of Menorcan wine are due mainly to the Mediterranean climate of mild temperatures, the northern "Tramuntana" winds and the moderate rainfall, in combination with the chalky, clay soils, which are perfect for growing vines. Several wineries in Menorca produce red and white wines with the Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca label, ranging from delicious and unique tasting Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Monastrell, Chardonnay, Macabeo and Parellada.

The first wines with the Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca label were produced in the Bodega Menorquinas (Spanish language only website). The vineyard has 3.5 hectares dedicated to growing vines including the grape varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Parellada, Macabeo and Planta and is located within the S'Estància Alta estate, 4 km from Es Mercadal. If you are a wine lover, a lover of good things and good living and have set your heart on moving to Menorca, be sure to try the fantastic wines of Bodega Menorquinas or the Bodegas Torralbenc, both come highly recommended by Engel & Völkers. The first wines were produced in Torralbenc in 2016, well worth tasting are the Merlot from 2017 or a refreshing rosé or crisp white wine from 2018. Get local! Real estate agent Engel & Völkers Menorca are here to help you find your ideal home and at the same time recommends the Binifadet winery if you would like a typical Menorcan wine to welcome guests into your new house on beautiful and fascinating Menorca.

After buying a house in Menorca, get to know the Sa Forana wine cellar; the wines are made with grapes that have reached phenolic ripeness, which results in the minerality of the chalky soil being expressed particularly well.

Finally, we would like to introduce you to the Hort Sant Patrici bodega where they also produce excellent wines with the Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca label, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. As well as excellent wines, the Hort Sant Patrici also produces the famous Mahón cheese with the DOP quality mark (European stamp of protected designation of origin). When you buy the house you have always wanted in Menorca remember that this very cheese is the perfect companion for a glass of local wine.
