La Mariota - Bac de Las Coves Blanc 2022

Cecilia Diaz and Guillermo Campos are Argentinian,but met in Majorqua and worked many years in London, Cannes, Geneva and Paris in the restaurant industry. They finally settled in Vingrau in Roussillon in 2018 to start their winery with 1,7ha. They now have about 7 ha of very old vines of carignan, grenache noir and blanc, muscats, mourvedre, syrah, maccabeu and roussanne. Their limited production (mainly due to the very low yields) is all certified organic. Their vineyards are based in 2 villages 5vingrau and Tautavel), and they vinify and age each plot and grape  indivudally before blending to make about 5 different cuvees. Driven by an amazing acidity, balance and drinkability, their wines are absolutely unique in the area.

Aged 12 months 50% in tank and 50% in barrel, with an additional 6 months in bottle. Unfined and unfiltered.
