About the Wine
A wonderfully pure-fruited and lifted red that simply jumps from the glass with aromatics of wild strawberries, cherry and plum alongside that unmistakable Mediterranean herbal edge. Made with Bobal grapes, a local Catalan grape that is better known for big, tannic reds - though though you will find no such thing here! The grapes grow from old vines grown on clay-limestone soils in Manchuela. They are harvested by hand, destemmed and macerated for 3 days then rested in stainless steel for 8 months. This bright, juicy red is best served with a chill. An immediately satisfying wine with big flavours and a real raw, wild edge.
About Partida Creus
Partida Creus is the project of two Italians now in residence in the Tarragona region of Catalonia, just south of Barcelona. The idea of the project was to work with historical, often overlooked local varietals that in many cases were not recognised by the D.O. of the area: Penedès. Massimo and Antonella strategically went about buying up small plots of abandoned vineyards dotted around the area where mostly unknown varietals such as Garrut, Vinyater, Samsó and Queixal de Llop grew. They sought to revitalise the vines and work out the best expression for these old varetals, working without chemicals in the vineyard and without selected yeasts or any other additions in the cellar. They make an impressively dizzying number of different wines, all of which are unified by a very distinctive house style - raw, viceral and pungent reds, and salty, turbid, expressive whites. As a couple they have an insatiable energy which really comes through in the wine.
