Marc Isart was the head winemaker at Bernabeleva west of Madrid which led him to be one of the founding members of Commando G alongside Dani Landi and Fernando Garcia. Deciding to step out of the limelight Marc started his own Domaine: La Maldicion. The village of Valdilecha sits at 700m with Marcs old, red Tempranillo vines at 780m and indigenous white variety Malvar vines at 730m. These vines are notoriously difficult to work (and reach), which is where the name La Maldicion comes from, meaning The Curse.
