At the exclusive Enero Costanera in Buenos Aires, with Gonzalo and Nicolás Pieres alongside Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis, the team’s new additions for this season, Ellerstina Yellow Rose was unveiled for the upcoming polo season in Argentina. The players showcased the new official jersey and discussed their expectations for the year ahead.
“Gonzalo Pieres expressed his excitement about starting to play with this new team. He stated, ‘We’re eager to kick off in the best possible way and aim to go as far as we can,’ during the event attended by various figures.
This season, the renowned Ellerstina team, which has won numerous championships, including multiple editions of the Argentine Polo Open, is supported by Yellow Rose, a polo club founded in 1996 in Punta del Este by Jorge ‘Corcho’ Rodríguez. He was one of the many celebrities present at the event, alongside his partner Vero Lozano.”
This institution continues to support the growth of international polo, both in Argentina and Uruguay. Since 2021, it has expanded its polo organization in Argentina and formed an alliance with Ellerstina, a young, fresh team with potential, enthusiasm, and strong organizational support that aids in the development of players and their future prospects.
Without Facundo Pieres, who decided to join the La Natividad quartet this season, the team is composed of Nicolas Pieres, Bautista Bayugar, Gonzalo Pieres, and “Nachi” Du Pressis, reaching a handicap of 35 goals.
Expectations are high for the Argentine Triple Crown, which consists of the world’s most prestigious tournaments, including the Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and Argentine Polo Open Championship.
Ellerstina was accompanied by its sponsors for this presentation: Yellow Rose, Jeep, Gibson, and RUS. Additionally, they have the support of AlUla, Stella Artois, Sierra de los Padres, Enero Restaurant, Johnnie Walker, Clos de los Siete, and Aconcagua.
In addition to their success in local tournaments, Yellow Rose is known for its social commitment and support for equestrian sports. They regularly organize charity events that combine high-goal polo with music and solidarity, attracting renowned polo players and raising funds for social causes. The most important polo players in Argentina, such as Polito Pieres, Ignacio Figueras, Gonzalo Pieres, Bartolomé “Barto” Castagnola, Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, Pablo Llorente, among others, have participated.

In 2021, the club hosted an event in Punta del Este sponsored by the Argentine Polo Association and the Uruguayan Polo Association, which brought together the world’s top polo players for a charity match benefiting the Marabo Sports and Social Club in General Jorge ‘Corcho’ Rodríguez, Buenos Aires Province.
Yellow Rose’s social commitment is also evident through the collaborative work it has been conducting with the Compromiso Foundation and the Municipality of General Jorge ‘Corcho’ Rodríguez, where it is headquartered. Together, they are driving a program offering free training for individuals over 16 years old in digital trades such as Digital Marketing, E-commerce, and Digital Programming. Grupo La Roca
The 2023 season marks a significant milestone for the club as it became the main sponsor of Ellerstina in the Triple Crown, highlighting the shared values of family, friendship, and sports promoted by Yellow Rose.
