There are days that leave a deep and lasting impression on the history of a winery. In 2026, here at Sa Cabana we have taken a huge and decisive step forward, one we have been working towards for a long time. Today, that effort has come to fruition in the form of an unforgettable milestone as we celebrate the first bottling at our new winery on the estate, set against the unrivalled backdrop of our vineyards in bloom.

For years, the winemaking process and subsequent bottling took place at a winery located off our estate. Although this is not the first time we have bottled wine, it is the first time that this crucial stage has taken place entirely on our estate. Today, the estate is no longer just the place where the grapes are grown; it is now everything.

Bottling as a key process in wine production

Bottling is not merely a logistical step or a final packaging stage. In winemaking, it is regarded as a key stage in the production process, as it marks the transition whereby the wine leaves the protection of the vats or barrels and is transferred to the glass container in which its development will be completed.

During this phase, key aspects are monitored to ensure that the qualities achieved during wine production are maintained to the highest standard:

1. Protection against oxidation: When the wine is decanted into the bottle and the cork is inserted, direct exposure to the air is cut off, preserving the aromas and the freshness of the fruit.
2. Stabilisation during ageing: After bottling, the wine enters a period of rest during which its components finish blending harmoniously.
3. A time capsule and a testament to its origins: Each bottle serves as a faithful reflection of a vintage, capturing the vineyard’s climatic conditions and the team’s hard work.

Carrying out this process on the very site where our vineyards are in bloom lends our winery a unique sentimental and professional value. It is about observing how nature takes its course in the countryside whilst, at the same time, we protect the fruit in its bottle, so that we may write the history of Mallorcan wine.

Bottling is the crucial moment when a whole year’s work is preserved within the glass, sealing in the freshness, character and memory of the land.

A new chapter taking root in Binissalem

The shift from outsourcing production to centralising every stage on our estate marks the start of an exciting new era in which we feel closer than ever to our land.

From the heart of Binissalem, we continue to write our story and that of Mallorcan wine. We retain the same passion as ever, but with the satisfaction of knowing that the life cycle of every bottle now unfolds under the same sky and on the same soil that nourishes our vines:

• A single source: The grapes do not need to be transported after harvest, ensuring that their natural properties remain intact by the time they reach the winery.
• The ultimate home: We keep our feet firmly on the ground, blending the vineyard landscape of Mallorca with our daily work in the winery.
• Respect and innovation: We innovate in our processes whilst honouring tradition, combining our accumulated knowledge with an unwavering commitment to loving the land and respecting nature.

The harmony between the vineyard and the winery

Having the winery integrated into the estate also transforms the way our team works. The immediate proximity between the rows of vines and the winemaking area allows decisions to be made with a fluidity that was not possible before.

Walking through the vineyard, observing the condition of the vines and going straight into the winery creates a profound connection with every detail of the process. This immediacy reinforces our commitment to quality, allowing us to oversee the wine’s development from its very beginnings on the vine right through to the final sealing of each bottle.

The vineyard in bloom: a sign of a new chapter

This first bottling coincides with the flowering of the vineyard in Mallorca, one of the most beautiful and delicate stages in the vine’s life cycle. Seeing the flowers bloom in the fields whilst we carry out the first bottling inside the new winery creates a contrast rich in meaning.

On the one hand, the fruit of the previous vintage is patiently aged in the bottle; on the other, nature begins the cycle of the grape that will give life to future wines. It is a constant reminder that the earth never stands still and that patience is the virtue that underpins all our work.

Innovating for tradition: shaping the future together

This milestone at our new winery on the estate symbolises the connection between the memory of our roots and our focus on the future.

The estate is no longer merely the birthplace of the grape; it has become the place where everything happens, from tending the vineyard in Mallorca to the moment the label is affixed to the bottle. From the heart of Binissalem, with humility and a desire to share what we learn, we continue to work to create wines that honour our land.
