Seen as one of the founding and iconic grapes of Ibiza’s long winemaking past, Ibizkus use it to produce fine reds and flagship rose. About 40% of its production is dedicated to national and export markets, and to promoting its fabulous wines, quality and winemaking potential of this famous Balearic Island across Europe.

The Can Basso Blanco is made from a blend of approximately 75% Malvasía Ibicenca and 25% aromatic Malvasía (known as “Malvasía de Sitges”) planted in Ibiza in the mid-1990s, the wine is fermented and aged in second-use, 700-liter French-oak barrels with 7 months stirring on lees. An elegant, creamy and expressive wine with notes of white-stone fruit and citrus, a lovely saline quality and plenty of body and structure.
