Mallorca is not widely recognized as a significant wine-producing region, but it has been gaining attention for a variety of interesting wine projects. A notable addition to its fine wine landscape is the Son Antem project, initiated by Swedish wine importers Johan and Marin Lidby. Spanning 18 hectares, all vineyards at Son Antem Alaró are meticulously hand-managed by the Lidby family, yielding impressive results.
