Vinyater is actually the grape varietal - somewhat similar would be Macabeo, although they are completely different grapes. Vinyater is a smaller grain and the bunches are looser. It is a native grape varietal of the Penedés and close to extinction as it was never accepted into the official DO. Partida Creus has recovered some of the few remaining vineyards which they stumbled upon randomly as they were driving through the countryside in the Massís de Bonastre, where they live and make wines. For this wine, they own two small vineyards, one is 67 years old and the other 70+. As far as vinification, it is destemmed, pressed, fermented in stainless steel, and aged for about 6 months. Unfiltered, unfined, no sulfur, no acidifying. As natural as it gets.
