Paulo Almeida and Laura Rebessi

Paulo and Laura are a Brazilian couple who moved to Calce, Roussillon in France. After many years in strategic planning for large companies, they started their winemaking adventure in 2018 with 1.7 hectares of Muscat Petit Grain, Maccabeu, Grenaches Blanc and Gris vines.

Over the years they purchased additional plots of vines with Syrah and Grenache Noir, currently they cultivate over 5 hectares of vines.
With the use homemade treatments like macerations, infusions, whey and essential oils they treat the plants. Paulo and Laura are in a continuous search to reduce or even eliminate the use of copper and sulphur.

They work as much as possible with local suppliers who do not use ingredients that come from petroleum for the dry matter (bottles, labels, caps, boxes, capsules) and work with small companies directly, and even use green energy for the website to move towards this conscious autonomy.
