Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Focus on Mediterranean indigenous varietals adapted to local climate, use of drought-resistant rootstocks, drip irrigation to conserve water, native cover crops, selective hand-harvesting from small plots, lightweight glass bottles, recycled labels, local cork closures.

Terra de Falanis is recognized for its commitment to sustainable viticulture on Mallorca, with thoughtful site adaptation, reduced water use, and regional packaging. However, the winery is not fully certified organic or biodynamic and still uses some conventional vineyard treatments. Packaging is eco-conscious and transportation footprint is minimized for local markets. Exportation marginally reduces the sustainability score. Overall, the approach is progressive among Mediterranean boutique producers, though not the most stringent.
