La Mariota, IGP Cotes Catalanes 'Sudaka' 2020
Sudaka is a unique interpretation of Old Vines Carignan from 2020 Vintage. It may well be a one off... Cecilia and Guillermo have nicked named the vineyards it comes from "The Jungle". There is chaos in every bush but the grapes deliver such intense and bold flavours that they decided to retrained them rather than uprooting. The soils is purely composed of schists. Carignan grape delivers very moody wines in its youth. After 2 years in bottle, Sudaka teenage years are definitely behind, offering a velvety, mineral, dark smoked berries. A perfect match with lamb chops on the BBQ in our opinion.

La Mariota is a relative newcomer, situated 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. After looking for opportunities they came to the Roussillon for the weather and to be closer to their Spanish families. In 2015 Guillermo joined the brothers at Domaine Danjou Banessy and started a winemaker course, he also worked for Cyril Fhal at Clos du Rouge Gorge. In 2017 the couple found some land to work in Vingrau and Tautavel, starting with 6 varieties planted across 1.7ha. 2019 marked the first vinification “at home” in Vingrau, they now farm 8ha, including some new 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.
