The 2026 grape harvest in Mallorca has begun two weeks earlier than usual due to high temperatures recorded since the end of June. Wineries of the IGP Vi de la Terra Mallorca have already collected 1,582,915 kilograms of grapes, mainly white varieties, and forecasts indicate a final production similar to last year's, during which 5.3 million kilograms were brought in.

The high temperatures have advanced this year's grape harvest in Mallorca, to the point that some wineries have begun to receive grapes on July 21, almost a month earlier than was usual just a decade ago. The first varieties to enter the wineries are mainly white, and the sector assures that, for the moment, both the sanitary state and the quantity of grapes are satisfactory.

At seven in the morning, in a vineyard in Felanitx, the frozen water jugs on a dry wall are already dripping. They're covered with workers' T-shirts to keep out the little bit of sun that's just beginning to rise. From between the rows of vineyards, cheerful but soft music can be heard, as well as some conversation. However, the predominant sounds are the shears used for pruning and the scraping of plastic crates on the ground. The day before pruning, they are left on the farm, placed between the subtle, linear furrows in each row of vines to save themselves some work the next day.
