Description
We had the opportunity to get very special olives for distillation at the Son Moragues estate in Valldemossa. The La Mallorquina variety is the traditional olive from the island of Mallorca. A mutation of the empeldre olive that can only be found on the island. The trees are centuries old and grow on terraces in the Tramuntana Mountains.
Our La Mallorquina Gin is a vintage distillate that is distilled every year in October from fresh olives and juniper.
Awarded “WORLDS BEST SIGNATURE BOTANICAL GIN” at the World Gin Awards 2019.
Producer Overview
Gin Eva is an artisan gin distilled in Mallorca, but mostly it is a tribute to the Mediterranean spirit and its people. We created our gin to capture all the Mediterranean flavors we love and we are happy to share it with you.
The first gin (Mallorca's first gin ever) was produced in our distillery in 2012, when husband and wife team Eva Maier and Stefan Winterling started experimenting with spirits and botanicals in their small garage, surrounded by a junkyard and a cement factory.
Ten years later we moved into a new facility in 2022, still in the commercial area of Llucmajor, where we feel at home. That’s why we call our distillery “Casa Eva”. Our doors are always open and we look forward to your visit.
In addition to our classic Gin Eva with the red label, we created other special editions. The first edition is our olive gin, “La Mallorquina”, which won first place at the World Gin Awards in London in 2019 as World’s Best Signature Botanical Gin. At the same time, the red label was voted the best gin in Spain.
The unique taste of Gin Eva comes from Mallorcan juniper berries, botanicals and locally grown citrus fruits.
All ingredients are distilled in a traditional copper still by Eva and Stefan, a Catalan oenologist and a German winemaker.
