Natural white wine, 100% Macabeo, from a single plot recovered by Cris Vanyó in the Albaida Valley. The name pays homage to the small vineyard ('la vinyeta') the grapes come from. Strict hand harvest in crates, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel. Rest on fine lees to preserve fruitiness and gain volume. No additives, no sulphites, unfiltered and unfined. Note: not to be confused with Celler La Vinyeta of the Empordà — this is a radical Mediterranean white from Carrícola (Valencia).
Straw-yellow colour with golden reflections and the natural haze characteristic of unfiltered wines that keep their fine lees. Clean, markedly varietal nose: white pome fruit (green apple, water pear), subtle floral notes and a wild balsamic background evoking Mediterranean scrubland. Long-drinking, agile, fresh palate. Very lively citrus acidity that stretches the wine across the palate. The subtle unctuousness of the lees balances the tension. Salty, dry, very refreshing finish. Macabeo in its purest, most honest state.
