The wine portfolio of Can Axartell beautifully reflects Mallorcan vinification traditions of both yesteryear and today. As such, the program intentionally encompasses grape varieties both indigenous and international. The range of wines can be divided into three categories:
Everyday Wine
Wines such as Rosado, Blanco and Tinto Uno harness Mallorca’s incredible inherent freshness into delicious and uncomplicated pleasures. The wines are vinified in stainless steel tanks to better preserve this brightness before release onto market in the year following harvest.
Food Friendly Wines
Wines such as Corum (white) and Terrum and Ventum (red) offer a more serious complexity enhanced by extended barrel aging. The white wine is matured in large fuder barrels, the reds in French barriques. These food-friendly wines show extraordinary depth and complexity.
Special Editions
Can Axartell also periodically offers small-batch special edition bottlings. The first of these, The Artist, features a label painted by popular artist Dionís Bennàssar, who hails from nearby Pollença. This special release reflects the team’s interest in highlighting the individual varieties that each vintage sometimes blesses above all others.

‚Ventum‘ presents in shades of inky purple with violet hues. Syrah dominates the initial aromatic range, with juicy black forest fruits, cassis and meaty tones. Given time in the glass, Merlot and Callet slowly reveal their charms with notes of damson plum and blackberry, as well as leather, forest floor, Mediterranean scrub and black tea. Yet a cool minerality persists throughout, with bright accents of pepper and Bergamot. On the palate, ripe black fruit seemingly envelops a sweet core; with each passing minute, stunning components of herbs and spice, reminiscent of wild maquis, juniper and licorice, join the soirée. Barrel aging lends a delicate smokiness to the elegant flavors. What ultimately defines this dark and powerful beauty, however, is its deep minerality with a cool momentum. While the nose hints at this direction, the true reveal only arrives on the palate. It infuses and enhances the fruit, lending juiciness, balancing the elegant tannins and countering the ripeness of the wine.
