        Hans-Peter

        The 60 hectares of Mallorcan seaside hills where Can Axartell’s organic grape vines now grow wasn’t supposed to be a vineyard. It was supposed to be an all-inclusive resort. But when Hans-Peter, the man behind Can Axartell, heard about the plans to convert this natural paradise of century-old olive trees and sheep herds into a tourist playground, he immediately scooped up the whole estate.

        Over the next 20 years Hans-Peter assembled a passionate team that is specialized in organic viticulture and sustainable winemaking. Together they’ve planted 34 hectares of vines, most of which are native Mallorcan varieties. These are varieties that have likely been growing on this land for more than 800 years! The oldest registries of viticulture on the Can Axartell estate date back to the 13th century.

        From the very beginning, Can Axartell has had a strong commitment to the land and culture of Mallorca. The vines here have never been treated by chemicals and never will be. They were certified as organic from day 1. The majority of the grapes they grow are native Mallorcan varieties like Callet and Premsal with a smattering of international varieties like Merlot and Pinot Noir.

        The spectacular modern winery uses the oldest tool in the book to move the grapes, juice and wine through the various stages of fermentation and aging: gravity. The result is hugely expressive wines that embody the island they come from. These are wines that have a unique power to transport you to their Mediterranean beach with just one sip.
