Production:

The BN is a natural white wine made from grapes sourced from the surplus harvest of some of the seven vineyards; as a result, the quantity and varieties used in its blend vary from vintage to vintage.

The 2023 is a blend of white grapes sourced from the vineyards located in the municipality of Bonastre in the Baix Penedès, Tarragona. The grapes are sourced from old vines growing on clay-limestone soils with little organic matter. 100% expression of the terroir.

The cultivation of the vineyards is done under sustainable and ecological viticulture. The harvest is done manually, followed by hand sorting of the grapes in the vineyard. Vinified separately in stainless steel. Spontaneous fermentation with the grapes' own wild yeasts. Aged in stainless steel vats. Bottled unfiltered and unclarified. No sulphur has been added. 

Partida Creus is the project of Massimo and Antonella, a couple originally from northern Italy. A project that began in 2001 with the acquisition of the Mayoll estate is located in the Massís de Bonastre area in the Baix Penedès (Tarragona). This marked the start of a great and interesting journey that has grown and fully consolidated itself, centred on the recovery of almost extinct autochthonous varieties to produce natural and authentic wines from them. They adhere to their principles of maximum respect for traditions with a strong commitment to the environment, applying sustainable methods throughout the entire production process.

The work, both in the vineyard and in the winery, is carried out manually and in the most natural way. The result is a wide range of wines that stand out for their complexity and unique personality. Wines that reflect the identity of the Mediterranean terroir, as well as its climate and the deep respect for ancestral techniques.

Tasting Notes:

Pleasant and intense aromas of white fruit with subtle citrus and mineral notes. Fresh entry, good acidity and a smooth texture.
