The origins of Ca’n Verdura stretch back six generations, with the family cultivating vineyards in Binissalem among the historic possessions—large agricultural estates that have surrounded Mallorca’s most renowned winemaking village for centuries. This deep-rooted tradition shaped the project from the start: a commitment to producing wines with a truly Mallorcan character, focusing on native varieties such as Mantonegro, Callet, and Moll.
While international grapes have gained prominence, often at the expense of indigenous varieties, Ca’n Verdura was founded to challenge this trend and prove Mantonegro’s potential for expressive, characterful wines. The journey began in 2010 when Tomeu started vinifying Mantonegro from his grandfather’s estate, adapting it to modern winemaking techniques. Without a winery of his own, the first vintage yielded just 700 bottles.
In 2012, Ca’n Verdura established its own cellar in a converted garage in Binissalem, where Tomeu began crafting wines that showcase the region’s vineyard nuances. Over the years, the winery has evolved while staying true to its original essence, family tradition, and respect for the land.
The vineyards follow the traditional en vaso (goblet) training system, with old vines rooted in the iron-rich, limestone-based call vermell soils of Binissalem. Though international varieties appear in entry-level blends for practical reasons, Ca’n Verdura’s future is firmly dedicated to the revival and celebration of Mallorca’s historic grapes.
