Prensal Blanc
whiteWarm climate
Mallorca's signature white grape, also known as Moll. Produces fresh, floral wines with stone fruit and a subtle almond note. Naturally moderate in acidity for a warm climate grape, which makes it easy to drink young. Some producers ferment in clay amphorae or old oak for added texture. The grape is also used in the island's sparkling wines.
Best within 1-3 years for freshness, though skin-contact and oak-aged versions can develop for 5+ years.
