Vineyards in Ibiza — 4 of Our Favourites

Can Rich has since emerged as one of Ibiza’s most acclaimed wineries. Situated close to San Antonio, in the beautiful agricultural area of Buscastells, this growing vineyard has undergone a great expansion, with the inclusion of four hectares of vines in the extraordinary setting of Ses Salines Natural Park. Fusing tradition with modernity, Can Rich has pioneered the use of organic farming with a respect towards the environment, paying homage to the authentic spirit of the island.

In order to improve the wines produced on the island, the vineyard has also expanded to include varieties such as Chardonnay for white wine and Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Merlot and Syrah for rosé and red wine.

This is the biggest wine producer in Ibiza and they also produce Hierbas liqueur, vermouth, Balsamic vinegar, salt and olive oil.

At this vineyard, they have endeavoured to recuperate autochthonous varieties such as red Monastrell and white Malvasía, which they combine with foreign grapes like Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

This unique and clever approach to their wines reflects the island’s new age of creativity in this area, which has put Formentera on the international map for wine production.

They produce a wide range of wines, including their signature red Es Monestir, as well as white, rosé, pétillant, and sweet wine made with Muscat grapes.

They produce a selection of three red wines, a white wine and a rose. Most of them are produced with local Monastrell grape, while the white wine also includes Malvasía. They also include Tempranillo, Syrah and Merlot in their wines. Grape harvests are done manually from mid-August.

Combining traditional methods with new techniques, you should expect the unexpected as, in addition to the production of delicious blends of wine, some have even been infused with thyme flavour.

There is also a petting zoo with lots of farm animals to see on the estate including goats, donkeys, sheep and hens, as well as exotic birds and a playground for children. So, all in all, a great day out for the whole family.

They started producing their famous rosé and a red wine while its first white wine was marketed to the public during the summer of 2016. The cellars are situated between the villages of San Rafael and Santa Gertrudis. All grapes are destemmed, aged, vinified and bottled at this location.

With over 30 individual vineyard plots growing grape varieties such as Monastrell, Syrah, Tempranillo, Macabeo, Malvasia Grec, Parellada and Chardonnay, they produce and sell a rosé wine, a white wine, and two red wines under the Ibizkus brand name, and La Savia Divina, a red wine produced in an artisanal, low-technology and non-mechanized manner.

The company’s offices, store and wine tasting room are located on the main road linking the towns of Ibiza and Santa Eulalia, meaning visitors can enjoy an exquisite wine tour during their visit to the island.
