Partida Creus VN Tinto from Tarragona, Catalonia — a light, fresh, and juicy natural red blend of seven indigenous Catalan varieties including Garnatxa, Garrut, Sumoll, and Trepat, with red fruit, bright acidity, and minerality, vinified separately then blended, from a pioneering natural wine estate working with forgotten indigenous varieties.
Tasting Notes
Light, fresh, and juicy on the nose and palate. Red fruit — especially strawberries — with bright acidity and minerality. The seven grape varieties are harvested and fermented separately — short maceration for the Garrut, longer for the Trepat — then blended together. The result is a wine with the complexity of a multi-variety field blend but the freshness and drinkability of a natural light red.
