Coming Up
Today, Araceli Servera is Technical Director of Bodega Ribas.

Where They Are Now
At Bodega Ribas, her craft centers on grape selection in the vineyard and hand selection, grape by grape, at the winery. It is a meticulous, almost devotional process, one that favors attention over speed and demands an intimate understanding of each harvest as it arrives. That approach has made her a pioneer in Mallorca, where precision in the field and in the cellar becomes part of the wine’s larger expression. The wines are described as personal, elegant, and marked by distinct terroir. Those qualities reflect the careful work behind them: the disciplined sorting, the respect for local grape varieties, and the steady commitment to sustainability and research projects that continue to anchor her practice in place. Rather than chasing effect, the wines seem to arrive with clarity and restraint, carrying the character of their origin with a quiet confidence. What emerges from Servera’s work is a portrait of craft shaped by both lineage and method. In Consell, at Bodega Ribas, she is part of a story that stretches across generations, yet her own chapter is unmistakably contemporary in its focus on local varieties, environmental responsibility, and exacting cellar work. The result is a body of work that feels at once rooted and alive, attentive to the past but always looking toward what the next season might reveal.
