Jo!
This is a nice initiative: to produce a white wine in Catalunya with the nice Verdejo grape. Thus, it is the first verdejo wine produced in Catalunya, and I must say the the result is really good. In addition, they have used a nice label concept: it is fully green (which is really for me the "colour" for verdejo taste), and you can read the letters from the rear side, through the glass and through the white wine.
Nobody will realize that this verdejo does not come from Valladolid area. While Valladolid area cannot produce cavas of the same quality than us (Cantosan is a shame!), we can produce much better red wines (Priorat is probably the best area, but we can mention a large amount of outsanting wines from other areas, starting with jean Leon and finishing with the very hight quality price ratio wine Roques Albes) Yes, we can produce the same verdejo wines. Great!
Congratulations to Celler Mariol. I must say that I have been a frequent customer of their vermouth and sweet wines, but I am not very keen on to their red wines.
They also have a shop in Barcelona. I will go in a near future to purchase some verdejo bottles.
In addition, I have visited several times the nice and small village of Batea, in Tarragona, which has around 11 diferent cellars. My favourite one is celler Pinyol, but I must say that this Verdejo has really impressed me. Congratulations to Celler Mariol.
