This is a georeferenced platform that digitises the Vineyard Registry and improves accuracy, transparency, and vineyard management across the archipelago.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment presented today the new viewer for the Vineyard Registry of the Balearic Islands. This georeferenced cartographic tool, developed in collaboration with the Cartographic and Geographic Institute of the Balearic Islands (ICGIB), is integrated into the IDEIB spatial data infrastructure. The viewer allows direct consultation and updating of the region’s official vineyard information, reinforcing the administrative modernisation of the registry.

Viticulture in the Balearic Islands adopts a new pioneering digital platform

The presentation, aimed at wineries and winegrowers, demonstrated the platform’s features and capabilities. The system incorporates data on plots, grape varieties, rootstocks, planting year and ownership, and enables combined visualisation with municipal layers and SIGPAC parcels. This integration facilitates clearer and more precise management of viticultural potential.

The project forms part of the development of Decree 34/2020 of November 23, which sets the general principles for controlling the wine-growing production potential in the Balearic Islands. It supports the goal of maintaining a registry that is updated, coherent, and aligned with national and EU regulatory requirements.

During the session, the Director General of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development, Fernando Fernández, emphasized that the launch of the viewer “represents a significant step forward in managing the Vineyard Registry, as it allows immediate updating and structured consultation of information.” He also highlighted that the tool “is conceived as an evolving system,” thanking the island councils for their collaboration in its implementation and maintenance.

The viewer also includes a public layer accessible through the open data catalogue and the general IDEIB viewer, strengthening the Government’s commitment to transparency and the dissemination of useful information for the sector.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment continues its commitment to the digitalization of agricultural services and the improvement of planning, management and vineyard-control tools in the Balearic Islands.
