Còsmic Vinyaters

Salvador Batlle started Còsmic Vinyaters in 2012 and opened his cellar in Agullana, Alt Empordà, the following year. He works 9.5 hectares across two Catalan landscapes: the granite of Alt Empordà and, farther south, the limestone and clay of Baix Penedès. Organic farming and biodynamic principles guide his work, including restoring or regrafting neglected plots with local varieties.

Carignan and Grenache in white, grey and red forms grow in Empordà, with Macabeu and Sumoll in Penedès. Fermentations use indigenous yeasts, with tanks, amphorae and time on the grape skins chosen to suit the vineyard and variety.
