About the Wine

Savoury white pepper aromatics of Xarel-lo are the first thing to meet you from the glass, blended with Macabeu and given a twinge of peachy pink colour from a dash of Sumoll in the mix. This is real low-gravity, zingy breakfast wine sort of territory. Fresh, with salty stone fruits, sea breeze and Mediterranean herbs, the red fruits of under-ripe strawberry coming through later on the palate with a long wire of cleansing, refreshing acidity.

The white grapes were given a short 24-hour maceration and blended with a small percentage of Sumoll run from the tank of Sumoi Barmei. Combined, then bottled in primary fermentation to complete in the bottle, the lees removed in the autumn of 2024. As with all of Ignasi's wines, nothing was added at any point the process.

About Vinyes Singulars

Part of a long history in the region, Ignasi Sigui is the 22nd generation of his family to farm the land here, an estate founded in the Alt Penedès as far back as the 1400s. Combining the duty to upholding tradition with a restless, forward-thinking energy, Ignasi established Vinyes Singulars in 2009 as a new way of expressing the 20 hectares of vines that sit amongst a wider expanse of cereal crops, olive trees, vegetable gardens and forest. The entire surface has been certified organic since 2010.

South of Barcelona, the region is more widely known for commercial Cava production, although pockets of growers like Ignasi exist in the fringes, tending old vineyard parcels, preserving local varietals that have fallen out of favour and using traditional methods to make the wine.

The 20 hectares produces roughly 50,000 bottles of wine annually, but, with the vines being dotted over myriad small parcels, and Ignasi's desire to express each of these parcels individually, he makes upwards of 30 different cuvées each year, some in tiny quantities. The idea being that each wine represents an individual part of this fertile, sun-drenched idyll. We have cherry-picked just a small selection of them to start.

Being in the higher part of the region, the vines sit between 500-600 meters altitude and are planted over the typical argilo-calcaire mix of limestone and clay. It's an enviable spot, enjoying hot days of scorching Mediterranean sun and cooler nights, the proximity to the coast bringing in moderating winds from over the Balearic sea. The resulting wines are lithe and energetic, full of fresh citrus, oceanic salts and minerals. Extending on the organic work in the vines, they all ferment with native yeasts, are unfiltered and have no additions.

1000r 2021

Archetypal Mediterranean tinto that speaks of the long ripening season, radiating sunshine and warm evenings. Dense, rustic aromas with a stemmy, charred quality softened by confected liquorice and wild herbs. It's that slightly wild, earthy Monastrell character showing itself, balanced with fruity Merlot. On the palate there is softness ever so skewed with a sensation of frayed edges - imperfection, just the way we like it. Find out more.

Can Marti 2022

Made from a single half-hectare parcel of the lesser-cultivated Sumoll Blanc varietal, the vines here planted as far back as the late 50s. This shows the fleshier, more textural side to Ignasi's whites, with aromas of lime cordial citrus and chamomile flowers. A hazy gold in the glass, the wine has a wonderfully sleek, rounded feel to it, mixing white grapefruit and white peach with the ever-present salty minerals. Find out more.

A fascinating, perfectly-executed wine from a small single parcel of less than a hectare Find out more.

Light-bodied, with barely-there tannins, cherry, raspberry and damson fruits, Mediterranean pantry herbs and spices.

Xarel-lo Amphora 2021

The eponymous vessel always seems to lend a diffused, wide-open quality to the aromas of a wine - here white peach, melon and prickly white peppercorn provide a highly fragrant lift to the overall shape and balance. Tannins from the short maceration feel sanded-down and granular, raw lemon citrus gives a piquant twang, cutting through the smoky, pithy white grapefruit and tailing long into the finish.
