Can Axartell is a distinguished wine estate located in the northeast of Mallorca, near the charming city and port of Pollença. With a history spanning nearly 800 years, this estate beautifully blends modern winemaking practices with deep-rooted traditions. Founded shortly after the island was reclaimed from Moorish rule in 1229, Can Axartell has evolved from its early days, when vineyards were first discovered, to a prominent winery known for its quality wines. By the 16th and 17th centuries, wines from Can Axartell were already being served to esteemed guests in Pollença. Today, under the stewardship of Hamburg-native Hans-Peter Schwarzkopf, the estate has been meticulously restored, harmonizing with the island's landscape and culture. The commitment to organic practices began in 1999, even as the first vineyards were being established.
Can Axartell boasts 34 hectares of vineyards on the estate, complemented by an additional 24 hectares in the interior of Mallorca. The vineyards feature a mix of indigenous and international grape varieties. Notable red varieties include Callet and Manto Negro, with Callet being the first to be planted at the estate. Premsal is the primary white variety cultivated here. The limestone-rich soils, containing about 20% calcium, are ideal for growing red grapes. Rows of Callet flourish alongside Manto Negro, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and various Pinot varieties. Additionally, an experimental vineyard of 1.7 hectares showcases rare grape varieties that are nearly extinct on the island, contributing to the unique character of Can Axartell's wines.

Write a reviewA magnificent experience visiting and wine tasting at Can Axartell in Mallorca. The architecture alone is worth the visit, plus the privileged setting and, of course, the fantastic wines and oil. They use a sustainable gravity method, and the results are spectacular (whites, reds, rosés, sweets, etc.). Special thanks to Maria Garcia, who was an exceptional host.

I went with some very fun friends and I knew I would have a good time, but in the end it was more beautiful than I expected. The winery left me speechless, the girl who accompanied us was very nice and excellent at her job! The most beautiful time was trying the wines from the winery accompanied by other products from Mallorca. I love the wine from the winery as well as the guy. This winery will stay in my memories! I give 10 points!!! I will repeat again for sure 🫶🏻

Very nice winery with an exciting tour and a great tasting. The red wines are typically Mallorcan and really solid, the rosé is also very tasty. Unfortunately, we weren't so impressed with the white wine.
