La Mariota - Roc de la Vella MAGNUM (White)

Cécilia and Guillermo are both Argentinian and arrived in Europe in the 2000s. First in London, then in Paris where Guillermo works in large palaces, notably as a maître d'hôtel at the Royal-Monceau or as a director alongside Jonathan Bauer in Spring by Daniel Rose. Through frequenting great sommeliers, such as Manuel Peyrondet (best worker and sommelier of France 2010) or Jonathan Bauer-Monneret (MSF 2014), the couple ended up wanting to one day plant their own vines. They then settled in Roussillon, in Vingrau, in 2016 where they purchased 5 hectares in organic conversion. 2018 was their first vintage and is a true reflection of their demanding approach from the vineyard to the cellar: manual labor only, whole cluster vinification and fermentations with native yeasts. Bottling is done by gravity, without filtration or fining.
