The IGP area(land wines) covers the entire archipelago of the Balearic Islands (Spain). These are the white wine varieties Chardonnay, Giro Blanco, Moll (Prensal), Macabeo, Malvasía (Malvasia de Banyalbufar = Malvasia di Lipari), Muscat d'Alexandrie, Muscat de Grano Menudo (Muscat Blanc), Parellada, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, and the red wine varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Callet, Fogoneu, Manto Negro, Merlot, Monastrell, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo). These can be used freely. The minimum alcohol content is 10.5% for white wines, 11% for rosé wines and 11.5% for red wines.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
