Partida Creus
SP Subirat Parent Blanco 2021

A totally wild and immediately satisfying white made from the obscure Subirat Parent grape variety, an old clone of Malvasia which is almost extinct – classic Partida! Pouring a hazy lemon in the glass, there is a pronounced burst of sweet grapefruit, lemon peel, flowers and tropical fruit on the nose. Find out more.

Xarel-lo Amphora 2021

The eponymous vessel always seems to lend a diffused, wide-open quality to the aromas of a wine - here white peach, melon and prickly white peppercorn provide a highly fragrant lift to the overall shape and balance. Tannins from the short maceration feel sanded-down and granular, raw lemon citrus gives a piquant twang, cutting through the smoky, pithy white grapefruit and tailing long into the finish.

Vins d'en Tom
Rossu 2022

Here we have all manner of dusty dry spices, bonfire smoke and Mediterranean herbs jumping out of the glass, with a hint of something like eucalyptus floating in there too. A short maceration lends gentle tannins that neatly frame the bright, spicy red fruits and crushed peppercorns on the palate. Find out more.

Xarel-lo Inox 2022

Fresh, fragrant, steel tank-only Xarel-lo from a single hectare plot of 30 year old vines, the very first Ignasi planted himself at the estate when he was just a teenager. As usual with this grape there are savoury spice aromas mixing with pithy Mediterranean citrus, the vibrant acidity tailing long into the finish making for a quenching wine that keeps you coming back for more.

Can Marti 2022

Made from a single half-hectare parcel of the lesser-cultivated Sumoll Blanc varietal, the vines here planted as far back as the late 50s. This shows the fleshier, more textural side to Ignasi's whites, with aromas of lime cordial citrus and chamomile flowers. A hazy gold in the glass, the wine has a wonderfully sleek, rounded feel to it, mixing white grapefruit and white peach with the ever-present salty minerals. Find out more.

L'Autocaravana 2022

After seven months resting in chestnut barrels the wine is texturally rounded, with some fantastic clarity and poise to its well-defined structure. Blood orange, pink grapefruit and little red berries hang in the balance with floaty floral blossom and cracked peppercorn spice. A fascinating, perfectly-executed wine from a small single parcel of less than a hectare Find out more.

Joan Rubió/Tiques
Nituix 2018

As with all of Joan’s wines, the whole bunches are destemmed and the grapes macerated for around one week. Joan doesn’t ever press, and therefore loses a big amount of his yield but he prefers this more soft and gentle juice. Find out more.
