More About La Mariota La Nereda

La Mariota 'La Nereda' 2022 is a distinctive white wine from the Roussillon region in southern France, crafted by Argentine duo Cecilia Diaz and Guillermo Campos. The wine is a blend of 50% Muscat à Petits Grains and 50% Roussanne, sourced from vines aged 70 and 20 years respectively, grown on clay and limestone soils at an altitude of 180 meters. The grapes undergo direct press with whole clusters and are fermented using natural yeasts. Aging comprises 24 months—12 months in 400L barrels followed by 12 months in tank—and an additional 6 months in bottle. The wine is unfiltered, unfined, and contains a total sulfur dioxide level of 30 mg/L. Only 80 cases were produced, and it has an aging potential of 5 years.

On the nose, 'La Nereda' presents aromas of candied orange peel, wild honey, and spring flowers . The palate is textured and poised, offering a unique profile that combines petrol-like notes with elegant florals, reminiscent of a Riesling, yet distinctively its own.

The wine is certified organic and reflects the couple's commitment to sustainability and minimal intervention, ensuring that each bottle captures the unique terroir and vibrant character of the area .

Meet the Producer, La Mariota

La Mariota

Style: Winery

La Mariota make Roussillon wine that feels sun-soaked, slightly wild and somehow still incredibly precise underneath it all.

The project was founded by Cecilia Diaz and Guillermo Campos after years working in restaurants and wine before eventually settling in Vingrau in the Roussillon hills. They started tiny, just 1.7 hectares at first, before gradually expanding across limestone and schist vineyards planted with old local varieties like Macabeu, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan.

The wines themselves sit firmly in low-intervention territory but avoid the whole “look how funky we are” trap loads of natural wine falls into. Whites especially have become a bit cult-like among wine nerds. Salty, textured, oxidative in places, full of herbs, citrus peel and Mediterranean energy without losing freshness.

The reds stay bright and savoury too. Less heavy southern French blockbuster, more lifted fruit, spice and minerality. Everything feels very tied to the landscape around it.

There’s also something refreshingly human about the whole project. Small cellar under the family house, manual harvests, indigenous yeasts and wines that clearly come from people more interested in farming and flavour than polishing everything into shiny perfection.

Roussillon has become one of the most exciting corners of French wine recently, and La Mariota are absolutely part of the reason why.
