Bodega Ribas

Mallorca winemaker exploring Manto Negro and Syrah with critical recognition.

Bodega Ribas operates in Mallorca, the largest island of the Balearic archipelago off Spain's eastern coast. The winery works with Manto Negro, the indigenous dark grape of the region, alongside Syrah to craft wines that reflect the Mediterranean terroir. Sió Negre, their flagship Manto Negro expression, achieves depth and structure characteristic of the variety. Ribas de Cabrera, built on Syrah, demonstrates the potential of this classic varietal in island conditions. A third offering, Desconfío de la Gente Que no Bebe—also Manto Negro—rounds out their portfolio. These wines have drawn assessment from Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff, establishing a presence among prestige critics. Mallorca's winemaking tradition centers on indigenous grapes adapted to warm, maritime conditions; Bodega Ribas engages directly with that heritage through its selection of varieties and their expression on the island.
