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.
