60% Muscat de Frontignan, 25% Macabeo and 15% Xarel·lo; all certified organic. This is what’s known as a vi d’agulla, the Catalan term for a prickly wine bottled with a little natural effervescence retained from the winemaking process. Native yeast fermentation in stainless steel, then cold stabilized before the beginning of secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks with the addition of native yeast and raw cane sugar. 10.5% alcohol.
We love this light, fresh, dry fizzy wine! Delightfully refreshing and aromatic. The tantalizing notes of green apple, citrus, ginger, honeysuckle, and orange blossom will captivate your senses. With a low alcohol content of 10.5%, Avinyo Petillant is ideal for day drinking! If you like Vinho Verde, give this a try!
Avinyó Cava is a premier, hand-made, artisanal sparkling wine house which stands in stark contrast to the status quo of the industrial Cava machine. It begins with their location in the Catalan countryside in the remote village of Avinyonet del Penedès, where the Esteve family traces their history to 1597 with the building of their Masia (Catalan farmhouse) named “Can Fontanals”, the traditional family home. “Del most flor, amb la dedicació i el rigor de l’obra artesanal ben feta.” This Catalan saying graces the label of every Avinyó bottle and translates as “starting with the best part of the harvest, and exerting the dedication and rigor of a well-crafted work.” Today, Avinyó produces wine exclusively from vineyards that they own and farm organically, with great care and respect, a rarity among Cava producers. This point cannot be overstated, as the unfortunate commodification of Cava by the industrial-volume producers has resulted in intense downward pressure for grape prices in the region and a subsequent race to the bottom for Cava pricing, especially in the US market. Today, the next generation of the Esteve-Nadal family is at the helm, refining innovation while respecting tradition. Four siblings (Xavier, Luis, Pedro Juan, and Mercé) blend tradition, technology, and a relentless pursuit of quality to make their distinctive wines.
