{"product_id":"le-vol-des-etourneaux-vdf-la-mariota-2023","title":"Le Vol des Etourneaux VdF, La Mariota 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa Mariota is a young estate in Vingrau, one of Roussillon’s finest terroirs, founded by Argentine couple Cecilia Diaz and Guillermo Campos. The pair met in Spain before moving to London to work in hospitality, later settling in France, where their passion for wine deepened in top Parisian restaurants. Encounters with competition-trained sommeliers shaped their taste towards finer, fresher styles. In 2013, after the birth of their first child, they left city life for the Roussillon. Guillermo trained with Domaine Danjou-Banessy and Clos du Rouge Gorge before they established their own vineyards in Vingrau and Tautavel in 2017. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow farming 8 hectares (with half reserved for future plantings), they work organically and vinify with minimal intervention. Their wines balance brightness, structure and freshness, capturing the Mediterranean landscape with a subtle oxidative touch — expressive, terroir-driven wines full of energy and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe lightest and most lifted red in the La Mariota range, Le Vol des Étourneaux blends Grenache, Carignan and a touch of Syrah from old vines on limestone soils. Made with short whole-bunch maceration, it shows bright red berries, blood orange and floral notes, with subtle Mediterranean herbs and spice. Delicate in colour but full of energy and texture, the palate is fresh, vibrant and lightly savoury, with silky tannins and remarkable drinkability. Best served slightly chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eProducer \u003cstrong\u003eLa Mariota\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOrigin\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eVingrau, Roussillion,\u003c\/span\u003e France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eGrapes\u003cstrong\u003e 45% Grenache, 40% Carignan, 15% Syrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e12.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eMedium bodied, fragrant \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eHand-harvested; whole bunch maceration for 5 days, fermented with indigenous yeast, aged in old barrels for 24 months, and another 6 months in tank;  Unfined, unfiltered and bottled without SO2.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic, Natural, No added sulphur, minimal intervention\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Mariota","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55557524062584,"sku":"LEVOLDESETO-23-LMR-RED","price":31.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Bac_de_Las_La_Mariota.png?v=1778693843","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/le-vol-des-etourneaux-vdf-la-mariota-2023","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
