CHRISTINE SABRI
“I actually became a winemaker by accident, but that turned out to be the best plot twist I could have ever imagined!”
Roots of Passion
From a young age, I dreamed of a life close to nature. I loved being outdoors, surrounded by land, and engaging in artisanal work. My parents were farmers, as were their ancestors for generations. Although tradition seemed set for me, my ambitions reached further.
Much later, after facing and overcoming various challenges, I truly focused on winemaking. Over twenty years ago, I began this journey. It wasn’t an easy path; I had to overcome obstacles, including widespread gender inequality in the agricultural sector. In my family, as in many others, the right to take over the business was traditionally reserved for my brother.
Dreams Uncorked
As a female winemaker, my dreams extend beyond personal success. What drives me most is presenting wines that reflect my region and heritage. My greatest dream is for my wines to be praised for their quality, with each bottle reflecting the diverse terroir I cherish.
Collaborating with Made with Maude perfectly aligns with my vision to make an impact in the wine industry.
Made with Maude stands for sustainability, supports underrepresented winemakers, local producers, and promotes equality and diversity. This is close to my heart. Women bring invaluable perspectives — unique views on family, resilience, and entrepreneurship. I am proud to contribute to this.
Crafting Sustainability
Sustainable winemaking is not a trend or a side project for me but a moral obligation. My commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of my winemaking process, from minimizing the ecological footprint in my vineyard management to promoting biodiversity through my viticulture methods.
I acknowledge the ongoing challenges within the industry. Water management, waste reduction, fair wages, and equal opportunities — these are urgent issues. However, I believe in collaborative initiatives that promote transparency and inclusivity.
