There are stories in Mallorca that take place in the shadow of the famous beaches and towns. One of them is that of Mar\u00eda Serra<\/strong>a woman who not only produces wine, but also embodies the soul of Mallorcan viticulture. In the rolling hills around Binissalem<\/strong>the historic heart of Mallorcan viticulture, Mar\u00eda is leading the family winery into the future - always in harmony with nature and the old traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roots in the earth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mar\u00eda Serra comes from a family that has been involved in the DO Binissalem<\/a><\/strong> wines produced. Even as a child, she spent most of her time in the fields, helping her grandparents and discovering her love for the vines. \"Things used to be modest here,\" Mar\u00eda remembers. \"Small vines, no big fuss. It's different today, but the connection to the earth remains.\" And that is precisely what sets Mar\u00eda apart from the many new winegrowers working on the island - for her, wine is more than just a product, it is a tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viticulture in transition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When she took over the management of the family winery a few years ago, Mar\u00eda was faced with the challenge of finding a balance between tradition and innovation. The Binissalem region, which has been under the protected designation of origin Denominaci\u00f3 d'Origen <\/a>(DO)<\/strong> has invested heavily in recent years to integrate modern techniques into viticulture without abandoning the original grape varieties and methods. Manto Negro<\/strong> and Prensal Blanc<\/strong> - two of the most important autochthonous grape varieties - are now the hallmark of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability as a matter close to our hearts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Mar\u00eda is not just a steward of tradition. She has set the winery on a sustainable course that is geared towards the requirements of the future. Water-saving techniques, the avoidance of chemical pesticides and the protection of the soil are at the heart of her work. \"We've taken so much from this earth,\" says Mar\u00eda, \"now it's time to give something back.\" She is particularly proud of the fact that her winery is now one of the leading wineries in the region dedicated to sustainable viticulture<\/strong> have dedicated themselves to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A celebration of the earth: the grape harvest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year in September, the grape harvest begins, and for Mar\u00eda this is the highlight of the year. \"The Festa des Vermar<\/a><\/strong>The grape festival is something very special,\" she says. \"The whole region comes together to celebrate the harvest.\" At her winery, she invites visitors to experience the grape harvesting process for themselves - from picking the grapes to tasting the finished wine. It's more than just a tourist attraction, it's an invitation to experience the passion and love that goes into every bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to the future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mar\u00eda is firmly convinced that the Viticulture in Mallorca<\/strong> only has a future if it treats nature sustainably and respectfully. \"We have a responsibility to the next generations,\" she emphasizes. \"Wine is not only our heritage, but also our future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
