If you’re setting sail from Barcelona, point your compass south and head for the Balearic Islands. When you arrive at the Puerto de Palma de Mallorca, you may feel besieged by tourists but keep pressing on northeast toward Santa Margalida. Traffic jams will give way to vast, wide open expanses of olive groves, almond trees, and, barring the occasional vineyard-turned-vacation home, old vines of ancestral heritage: Callet, Escursac, Mantenegro, Argamussa, Batista….Navigate down a series of dusty desert roads and you’ll stumble upon Vins Galmés i Ribot - a compound home to Cati Ribot and a collective of winemakers she has generously allowed into her fold.

Among them you’ll find Ibon Apezteguia, a sweet, gentle soul who has taken up nomadic winemaking between here and Jumilla on the mainland, where he maintains a plot of sixty-year-old Monastrell. It’s hard not to immediately fall for the lineup of bottles he has thoughtfully arranged for your arrival alongside a plate of Panades Mallorquines. After he uncorks them and pours you a taste, you can let your guard down and give yourself permission to fall in love. This is Panduro, his fleet of Mallorcan jewels — wines of quiet charm and incredible lightness that defy the blazing Mediterranean climate.
