Sense Pressa (translated from Catalan as ‘No Hurry’) was established in 2020 by Marius Long. Marius farms 2.5 hectares of twenty-year-old vines in the picturesque village of Cucugnan, nestled between the foothills of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea. He grows Grenache Noir and Syrah organically, in addition to tending a plot of Carignan lent to him by a local winemaker in 2022.
After completing a 2-year degree in Viticulture and Oenology in Beaune, Marius continued to develop his expertise at several vineyards across France, including in: Burgundy, Sancerre, Roussillon and finally, the Hautes-Corbières.
Organic Grenache and Syrah grapes were harvested by hand. Macerated for 1 week. Fermentation with wild yeast and aged in fibre glass tanks. Unfiltered and bottled with no added sulphur.
