ABOUT US

MARIONA ALABAU

Born and raised in the mountains of the Pyrennes. But once I met the Mediterranean Sea I knew I will commit my life to the blue. I have a license with an environmental degree and a Master of Biodiversity.

This passion took me to work in the 5 continents with conservation and diving jobs. During this journey, Gergo’s path crossed my life. Same love, at first sight, I got from the sea, it happened with Geri too. Since then I am very happy to work together evolving, building, and growing in the world of blue economy and marine enology.

GERGŐ BORBÉLY

I have been around our Hungarian family winery for as long as I can remember, helping with the harvest, cleaning barrels, and making wine. Later on, I studied wines and spirits in greater depth.

Right after university, adventure called me to Southeast Asia. I hadn't traveled much, and diving intrigued me. It was actually through diving that I met my future wife
(yes, I found her under the sea!).

After 5-6 years of exploring the world's most beautiful dive sites, underwater caves, frozen mountain lakes, and even diving with sharks, my roots began to call me back. I decided to combine my passion for wine with the beauty and adventure that the underwater world had brought into my life.

This is how The Elixir of the Sea
or ElixSea, was born.
