SON ANTEM IN MALLORCA – A SWEDISH FAMILY OWNED VINEYARD
Son Antem vineyard in Mallorca is owned by the Swedish couple Johan and Malin Lidby. Even if this
winery is quite young, Johan has been in the wine business for over 26 years. Johan Lidby vinhandel is one of Swedens most renowed winesuppliers. The couple bought the land in 2019 and have put all of their love into this family owned estate. It really is a dream come through, and a must visit when on the island.

A BEAUTIFUL 25 MINUTE DRIVE FROM PALMA
The drive from Palma is approximately 25 minutes and is perfect as a daytrip excursion. Drive north east from Palma, towards Alcudia. Soon after the picturesque town of Santa Maria, you are not more than five minutes away, until you reach Alaró, your final destination. On each sides of the narrow road, there is wild nature, almond trees, hidden houses and small vineyards. It is in this particular region where you find the most vineyards on the island. From Santa Maria, through Consell, Binissalem, Pla i Llevant, Alaró and Inca. It´s located in the midwestern part of the island.
SON ANTEM VINEYARD IN MALLORCA
Johan and Malin greets us on a sunny, but windy Saturday together accompanied by their dogs, Fosca and Aston. This place is stunning, with a beautiful mix of the old and restored main building (which is Johan and Malins home) with the modern and newly built winery. And there are grapevines as far as the eye can see.
After a tour of the winery, and the boutique, it is time for some wine tasting. Son Antem have produced 10 different wines, with a range from red, to white and rosé.
TASTE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SUN
The wines are quite light and have both a beautiful color and taste. To summarize the wines they have a taste of the Mediterranean sunny and rich fruitiness. You can feel the freshness and intensity of the chalky soil. These fine wines are definitely worth the beautiful drive to Alaró, and something that we can highly recommend doing. We had the privilege to get a thorough and interesting tour by Johan himself. He told us not only about the actual wines, but also about the building of the winery and the history of the young vineyard. With the amazing storytelling and the great wine tasting, we were really happy with our excursion.
ARTISINAL WINES
The beautiful Son Antem vineyard in Mallorca, is nestled in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, next to Alaró. They harvested and vinified their first vintage, in 2021, to produce artisanal wines reflecting the mosaic of their different soils and grape varieties. The estate is organically certified since vintage 2023, and stretches across 18 hectares and boasts ten different grape varieties.
OPEN FOR WINE TASTING
Son Antem is open for wine tasting, wine shopping and guided tours in the winery on Saturdays. Malin also has a shop here where you can find a selection of womens clothing, accessories and other nice things.
