Rolland Galarreta Wine

When France met Spain in a wine glass, Rolland & Galarreta was born. Two of Europe's most respected wine names, Frenchman Michel Rolland and Spaniard Javier Galarreta, set out to unite their countries' winemaking heritage in a single bottle. The result is wines that carry both cultures' fingerprints without compromising either.

About Rolland Galarreta Wine

Rolland & Galarreta was created by French winemaker and consultant Michel Rolland and Spanish wine visionary Javier Galarreta. Their shared passion for wine and deep know-how has produced remarkable tasting experiences that bridge French finesse and Spanish power. For the newcomer it's an accessible gateway into two great wine traditions at once; for the collector, the name Michel Rolland alone is a mark of quality, as he is regarded as one of the world's most influential wine consultants and has advised some of Bordeaux's most prestigious chateaux.

History & Background

The partnership between Rolland and Galarreta grew out of decades of mutual respect between two wine regions that have traditionally viewed each other as rivals. Michel Rolland built his name consulting for a long list of Bordeaux chateaux before expanding his work internationally, while Javier Galarreta has roots in the Spanish wine culture around Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Together they chose to let the grapes and the terroir speak, rather than forcing a single style onto both countries' wines.

Production & Style

The wines are made from local grape varieties, grown with attention to the region's particular soil and climate.

Signature Style

Fresh, Mineral, Balanced
The flavor varies by grape, but shares fresh acidity and a distinct mineral character.
