Còsmic Vinyaters, Connexió Còsmica 2025

Còsmic Vinyaters, led by Salvador Batlle Barrabeig, is a project which connects two Catalunyan landscapes. Vineyards spread across the inland Alt Empordà region hug the base of the Pyrenees, while those further south in Baix Penedès are more coastally influenced. The latter sees a combination of autochthonous Catalunyan and foreign varietals, while those in Alt Empordà are predominately hyper-local. By working this way, Salvador and the team encapsulate not only the wine traditions of the region, but also a mosaic of terroirs and climate. This energy flows through the wines, all of which are hand-harvested in accordance to the lunar cycles and made without filtering, fining, or any additives. Connexió Còsmica 2025 is made up of 90% White Carignan and 10% Malvasia de Sitges from the young Vinya del Vent vines. Grapes are hand harvested, de-stemmed and direct-pressed. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, before ageing on fine lees for 4 months. Connexió Còsmica 2025 would pair well with pan-fried razor clams with parsley and garlic.
