The Cellar
More than a decade of effort and dedication
Bodegas Torralbenc arises from a challenge, taking up the legacy of others, rebuilding and recovering it. To rehabilitate a traditional Menorcan estate, and give life back to an abandoned land, restoring its essence.
The vineyard
Working a land that wouldn't allow being worked
The old houses of Torralbenc are 19th and 20th-century agricultural properties. They never grew vines, because the land did not allow it, nor was it viable with the resources that were available. Today, the vineyard surrounds Bodegas Torralbenc and 14 of the estate’s 70 hectares are dedicated to growing grapes.
Our Wines
In 2016 Bodegas Torralbenc produced its first wine. A first vintage which was stolen from the stone, the earth and the light of Menorca, and that shows all the potential of our grapes.
Our red is a wine that is marked by the character of the Merlot variety, which reflects a good adaptation to the climate and the ground, and also the fabulous maturation obtained in this 2016 vintage.
Fresh and aromatic, with an attractive pale pink colour, clean and bright. Intense scents of red fruits, mainly strawberries, cherries and blueberries, and slight balsamic notes, common characteristics of Mediterranean plants such as fennel.
Well balanced and fresh, with a fine bouquet and continuous. Medium to high aromatic intensity, with a light aroma of camomille, pear, and grapes.
Given presents a clean and bright golden yellow colour with green lemon tones.
Torralbenc
History, agricultural tradition and nature
Bodegas Torralbenc belong to Torralbenc and correspond to 77-hectare agricultural property in the municipality of Alaior. Located In a privileged hillock surrounded by vineyards, at 15 minutes from Mahón and with views over the blue horizon of the Mediterranean Sea, it offers, in a natural manner, agriculture and tradition, history and an impressive nature.
An amazing path ahead
We wish to continue doing what we love, keep improving to milk the rock, the land and Menorca’s light, and our grapes for all their worth.
