Bodegas Bordoy produces relatively small quantities for restaurants and private individuals. Quality over quantity is the motto.<\/p>\n<p>First, Sandra shows me the labeling of the bottles. The winery needs three employees to operate the machine. In the Mallorcan winery, everything is hand-crafted &#8211; not just the labeling, but the complete harvest and production &#8211; she proudly explains. Opposite the machine is the cold storage. After the harvest at the end of August, the grapes are stored here. Now in early April, it&#8217;s used as a bottle warehouse.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23173\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23173\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23173\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage.jpg\" alt=\"bodegas bordoy bottling plant\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_abfuellanlage-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23173\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At this station, the bottles get their labels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even the fermentation tanks, where the wines ripen, are now empty.

It&#8217;s a small cottage in the vineyard. Formerly used as a tool shed by farmers, now it&#8217;s a real gem with seating, air-conditioning, and authentic decoration. In front of the cottage is a picnic table. &#8220;We&#8217;ve only had it for two weeks and already, on the second day, a group of cyclists spent their lunch there,&#8221; says Sandra proudly.<\/p>\n<p>For the future, she wants a regular wine bar, where visitors can just try a glass. Homemade almonds and the typical Majorcan sausage sobrasada will be served there. &#8220;We only offer products where we know exactly where they come from and what&#8217;s in them,&#8221; she assures me. The Mallorcan winery is always happy about interested visitors. In the summer, they&#8217;re organising the first wedding at the winery for two lovers of wine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23181\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23181\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23181\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette.jpg\" alt=\"bodegas bordoy cottage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bodegas_bordoy_huette-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There will be a taproom in the future in this small cottage at Bodegas Bordoy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I thank Sandra and slowly make my way to the car. On the way back, I shoot some more photos and forget how grey the day started. Today I learned a lot about Mallorcan wines, their production, their quality, and their characteristics. Unfortunately, I forgot many of the technical facts, but the special atmosphere of this special place will be remembered forever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotui.com\/uk\/majorca\/majorca-wine-tour-1-123344\/?utm_source=blog-tuiblue&#038;utm_medium=post&#038;utm_campaign=gotui-de&#038;utm_term=side&#038;utm_content=link\" class=\"button red\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Book this excursion now<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fish, olive oil, and jam\u00f3n Serrano &#8211; Mallorca is known for those, but wine?
