Can Ribas Vineyard, Consell
One of the oldest vineyards on Mallorca
This family-run bodega located in the municipality of Consell has a long tradition dating back to 1711. The Ribas family has dedicated itself to caring for its vineyards and producing wine, and it is one of the oldest wineries on Mallorca. Close to the winery are the family’s own vineyards, covering 40 hectares. Most contain old vines and are the winery’s most important asset. The vines include white varietals Prensal Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Chenin and tiny grained Muscatel, and red varieties Manto Negro, Gargollassa, Callet, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot.
Bodega Ribas has been producing wine for more than 300 years, making it the oldest winery to exist on the island today. Dating back to the 18th Century, it belongs to the historic ‘Ca’n Ribas’ listed mansion boasting traditional features such as an original barrel cellar and winemaking warehouse. Ancestor to the current owners, Pedro Ribas de Cabrera originally founded the winery and is responsible for its developing international prestige more than a century ago. A 90 minute tour and tasting includes a selection of four wines, artisan bread and homemade olive oil.
Visits are by appointment only, Monday to Friday 10:00 to 18:00.
