Prize winning wines in Formentera 2017
Es Monestir from Formentera wins Silver Bacchus award
Spain's 15th Bacchus International Wine Competition took place last weekend in Madrid. A wine from Formentera, Es Monestir (2013) by Terramoll winery, received the sought-after Silver Bacchus distinction.
Bacchus is the only international wine competition celebrated in Spain that is recognised by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). For four days, over 1500 different wines are tasted by a jury formed of more than 100 master sommeliers, specialist journalists and winemakers from all around the world. They grant three distinctions: Grand Gold Bacchus, Gold Bacchus and Silver Bacchus.
Es Monestir is a red wine made with 100% monastrell (mourvèdre) local grape varieties. Its limited production of 1500 bottles is made at Terramoll winery, located in La Mola.

Local Ibiza and Formentera wines or "Vi de la Terra d'Eivissa" and "Vi de la Terra de Formentera" are fastly becoming popular thanks to their particular taste, partly due to the use of endemic grape varieties. Why not visit one of the island's wineries when on the While Isle? You will even get the chance to try some of their delicious production.
