Entre Vinyes, Oniric Pet Nat, Catalunya, Spain

We love a Pet Nat and this is an all round favourite.  ‘Oniric’ is a word in Catalan to describe a ‘dreamer.’ Maria and Pep loved this idea as this project really stemmed from a dream to take over and rescue these stunning old parcels and old vines that had belonged to their family. As for the symbolism of the birds, which appear on all their labels: first, birds in the vineyards are a sign of life, a sign of a balanced ecosystem and a reward for farming honestly and correctly. Secondly, as they finally now have their own space where they make the wines, they liken the grapes now having their own winery/ home just as birds have their nests.

Made with Xarel-lo and Muscat and made with the ancestral method, the original method to make sparkling wine. It can be a bit risky as the initial fermentation is stopped before the wine is bottled and the secondary fermentation occurs within, meaning there is no way to control the results until you open it. With practise and skill the results are exciting, delicious and often explosive.
