Mas Guallar
France
Languedoc-Roussillon
Originally from Chile, Camila Opazo enriched her career by studying oenology in Bordeaux, where she acquired a technical rigor that she would later blend with the energy of the Roussillon region. She chose to settle in the Pyrénées-Orientales, between Banyuls-sur-Mer, Maury, and Estagel, where she founded her own winery, Mas Guallar, in 2019.
The vineyard spans about ten hectares spread across two iconic sites: approximately 3.3 hectares in Banyuls and 1.7 hectares in Maury, on steep, terraced hillsides. Part of the vineyard is certified organic, with the remainder in the process of conversion. Camila Opazo deliberately chose isolated plots to protect them from any unwanted treatments from neighboring vineyards and to foster a rich ecosystem around her vines, which are tended entirely by hand.
Without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, she prioritizes agroecological practices that promote biodiversity and soil health.
In the winery, winemaking is carried out with minimal human intervention and without chemical additives, in an effort to faithfully express the terroir and the vintage. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand; depending on the cuvée, they are either vinified as whole clusters in small stainless-steel tanks or destemmed and then aged in demi-muids, before being transferred to old oak barrels to soften the tannins. Bottling is done by hand, with very light sulfiting, less than 2 g/hl.
Among its wines is «Résilience d’en Paillol,» a blend of Grenache Noir and Carignan from vines planted on sedimentary schist in Maury, aged for 16 months in old barrels and produced in a micro-batch of approximately 1,500 bottles. Its vibrant reds and whites—renowned for their elegance and length—embody this fusion of Catalan energy and Bordeaux precision. The estate also offers sustainable wine tourism tours, inviting visitors to explore the vineyard and cellar before a guided tasting.
