Why We Love It
We love Elemental because Macabeu and Xarel.lo become pure Mediterranean energy in sparkling form. It is joyful, salty and alive.
Description
Elemental combines Macabeu and Xarel.lo in an ancestral-method sparkling wine from Vinyes Singulars. The nose brings peach, apple, fruit and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is fruity at first, then animated and complex, with salty minerality, clay-limestone character, lively acidity and a crunchy finish.

About the Producer
Vinyes Singulars is rooted in an extraordinary family history: twenty-three generations of winemaking and more than 600 years of connection to the land in Penedès. This is not a project built around trends, but a continuation of deep local knowledge and a powerful relationship with place. The wines are alive, expressive and unmistakably Mediterranean, showing the energy of local varieties such as Xarel.lo, Macabeu and Sumoll through a contemporary natural wine lens.
