Aged in steel tank for four months. Unfined and Unfiltered.

Ignasi Segui

Vinyes Singulars is a family estate in the village of Pacs del Penedés less than an hour outside of Barcelona. Ignasi Segui is the grower and winemaker, continuing the family tradition dating back to 1405.

When Ignasi took over the estate, many of the vineyards were in disrepair, and much of his focus was and still is dedicated to restoring (versus replanting) these older vineyards.

All the grapes come from regenerative, organic farming (certified) tended by Ignasi on clay/limestone soils. Ignasi farms 27 hectares total, but sells a significant amount of fruit to other growers, using his best grapes from about 8 hectares for his own production. No so2 or other additions are used in the winemaking at any point.
