Salvador “Salva” Batlle carries the countryside and nature in his veins. He was born to a viticulture family based in Baix Penedès, where they worked 22 ha of vineyards, selling the fruit to large wineries in the area. By the time he was nine years old, Salva already knew how to drive a tractor and at 16 he made his first wine. His creative path is devoted to producing pure integral wines (each grape variety is approached separately) - pureness upon pureness, with the lowest intervention and the highest respect for nature.
In this Box you will get:
Cosmic Vinyaters Fades del Granit 2021
Juicy and electric pet nat rosé for sipping or glugging. Mix of Grenache, Carignan Blanc and Carignan Gris grown on granite soils. Lowest intervention practices possible: grapes are hand-harvested and de-stemmed before five days of skin-on maceration and some gentle pressing. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks with end of fermentation in glass bottles.
Cosmic Vinyaters Confiança 2021
Confiança is made from Grenache which comes from vines planted in sandy-limestone soils and which are over 60 years old. The wine ferments in amphoras with its own yeast and is aged in containers with its own thin lees for 2 months. Red cherry, almond, fennel, quite some perfume too, some salted cracker. It’s saline and gently savoury, but has a core of red cherry and strawberry.
Cosmic Vinyaters Gratitud 2021
This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from a single plot located at 600m altitude. Once the grapes arrive to the winery they ferment in three different vessels - oak, amphora and stainless steel. Scents of passionfruit, cut grass, lemongrass. A bit more volume than expected in the palate, pleasingly oily texture, some gentle savoury notes, a lot of passionfruit and green apple. Pleasing, easy, right on.
Cosmic Vinyaters Passio 2021
This comes from a Marselan vineyard planted at 500 metres above sea level. The wine undergoes maceration on skins for 18 days. Rested in stainless steel alone. Shows with sweeter, riper fruit characters, a lot of spice and a strong salted liquorice note. Feels tight and firm, Flavours persist but lightly, though there’s a lot going on up front.
