A vivid, zero-sulphur red from the rare Bobal grape grown in Catalonia, made by the pioneers of Spanish natural wine with fresh cherry, Mediterranean herbs, and a saline mineral edge that is entirely their own.
Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in the glass. The nose is fresh and vibrant with aromas of ripe cherry, red berry, wild herbs, and a distinctive savory, almost briny mineral character. On the palate it is light to medium bodied, juicy, and lively, with a pleasant grip and a long, refreshing finish. A natural red that drinks beautifully young and effortlessly.

About the Producer
Partida Creus was founded in the early 2000s by Italian architects Antonella Gerosa and Massimo Marchiori, who left their careers in Piedmont to settle in the remote village of Bonastre in Catalonia's Baix Penedes. There they discovered abandoned vineyards planted with indigenous varieties that local farmers considered worthless, and began the work of rescuing and reviving them. Today the estate works with over 30 native Catalan varieties including Sumoll, Garrut, Cartoixa Vermell, and Vinyater, producing wines of saline freshness and real Mediterranean character. Partida Creus is one of the defining names of the Spanish natural wine movement.
