La Mariota is a relative newcomer perched in the village of Vingrau, one of the best terroirs in the Roussillon. Cecilia Diaz and Guillermo Campos hail from Argentina. They met while working in Spain in the early 2000s. Soon the pair decided to move to London to perfect their English working in hospitality. After 18 months the couple finally settled in France.

Their wine calling happened while working in top restaurants in Paris. Their taste shifted when they met a trio of sommeliers who trained for national and international competitions. This experience instilled in the couple a love for finer wines and fresher styles.

In 2013, Cecilia and Guillermo welcomed their first child and decided to swap their urban lifestyle for peaceful, rural living. They arrived in the Roussillon and Guillermo joined the brothers at Domaine Danjou-Banessy to start a two year apprenticeship. Which followed by 6 months with Cyril Fhal at Clos du Rouge Gorge.

In 2017 the couple found vineyards in Vingrau and Tautavel, starting with 6 different grape varieties planted across 1.7ha. 2019 marked the first vinification in their cellar nestled underneath their family home in Vingrau. They now farm 8ha, half for future plantings. From the start they have worked in an organic way, wanting to produce wines with bright fruit, structure and freshness. They vinify as naturally as possible.

La Mariota wines capture the essence of the Roussillon region and flavours from the Mediterranean sea, offering a harmonious blend of tradition, flirting with oxidative notes and innovation. The pairs commitment to sustainability and minimal intervention ensures that each bottle reflects the unique terroir and vibrant character of the area.
