The history of the Galmés i Ferrer winery in Petra is a fascinating journey through generations dedicated to wine production. Located in the municipality of Petra, in Pla de Mallorca, this winery has its roots in the 1930s, when wine production began with official declarations for grape harvesting and wine distribution.
The founder, the grandfather of the family, took the first steps, making wine sporadically. The grapes were processed and marketed, but the dedication to this tradition did not become exclusive until the next generation, with Guillem Galmes Salas. This dedicated winemaker focused exclusively on winemaking, establishing numerous suppliers in the Pla region around Petra.
The wine produced by the winery was widely distributed throughout Mallorca, and the dedication and training in winemaking was passed on to the next generation, to the current winemaker and owner, Arnau Galmés Ferrer. The legacy spread over time, and the winery underwent significant changes in the 2000s with a project to modernize the facilities. The expansion of the winery brought with it new lines of wines.
Bodega Galmés i Ferrer embodies the fusion of old and new, honoring Mallorcan traditions while looking to the future. Each bottle tells the unique story of a passionate family who have dedicated their lives to the art of winemaking, and their wines bear witness to this rich heritage in every sip.
