Label Fraud at Palma Airport: 118 Sangria Bottles Seized

Answer

Can a bottle sold in Mallorca legally say “Mallorca” on the label if it was not made there?

Not necessarily. A Mallorca origin label should reflect a real connection to the island, not just a marketing story, and authorities can step in if that claim is misleading. The recent seizure at Palma Airport shows how seriously false origin labels can be treated.
