Best Committed to Luxury: 100% ecological and responsible production
Grapes subject only to the force of gravity which distill 100% organic and sustainable wines give way to the final product produced at the Can Axartell Winery. Their headquarters, carved into rock, feature a futuristic glass and steel facade. A 100% organic wine made using the “Gravity Method”, a system by which the grapes are subject to the natural force of gravity, a technique used to make unique and distinctive wines.
Best depiction of the essence of Mallorca: a legacy that represents centuries of tradition
The essence of Mallorca is best represented by the wonderful gardens and the house that combine historical elements and the integration of those with the natural environment. They are the Jardines de Alfabia, a place where the variety of styles have not just been superposed but has attained a level of harmony that is difficult to achieve. The palm trees rise solemn and majestic before the façade, indifferent to the passage of time.
