Jaume de Puntiró

On the edge of the Plaça Nova in Santa Maria del Camí, Jaume de Puntiró runs a farm shop and tasting room that sits in front of a genuine, organically farmed winery. Visitors won't find a vinoteca stocked with bought-in labels here, but a family business built around its own grape variety: Manto Negro, Mallorca's native red grape, grows in the estate's own vineyards and is turned into a small but distinctive collection of wines. Several visitors mention walking through the vines themselves before returning to the shop for a tasting, a detail that ties the wine directly back to the land it comes from.

The range is compact but pointed: the white Premsal (also spelled Prensal) comes up repeatedly as a light white with pleasantly restrained acidity, while among the reds the Carmesí and the Porpra are named as favourites. There's also a sweet wine, a house-made vermouth and a gin — a spread that shows the estate experimenting beyond the classic red-white-rosé axis. One visitor recounts a tasting that ran through nine different wines plus the vermouth and gin, giving a sense of the range's depth, even if the exact line-up naturally varies from visit to visit. Organic farming is confirmed independently by several reviewers and is clearly part of how the estate presents itself.

Alongside the wine, the shop carries a small selection of regional products: sobrasada, olives, olive oil, cheese and honey are mentioned repeatedly in visitor accounts, fitting the character of a farm shop that gathers local agricultural goods rather than running its own kitchen. Wine can also be bought loose, in bulk — a detail that underlines the down-to-earth, unpretentious feel of the place.

What comes up especially often, and independently, is the personal welcome: names like Ana and Pere recur across many accounts, paired with thorough explanations of the winemaking process, patient guidance, and an atmosphere visitors describe as warm and genuine. A tasting is consistently reported as possible, and is recommended equally by first-time visitors and returning regulars; several guests note that a visit including explanation and tasting can comfortably run to around two hours. One reviewer notes that the actual organic winery operation is based in Binissalem, with the Santa Maria del Camí address serving primarily as the sales and tasting point — a single observation, but one that doesn't take away from the family character of the operation as a whole.

For anyone wanting to get to know Mallorcan wine beyond the big names, this is a small, unshowy winery built on a native grape variety, organic principles, and personal contact rather than scale or spectacle.
