WINEMAKER'S NOTES

BB a standout red wine, originates from organically farmed Bobal grapes in Manchuela. Harvested manually, the grapes undergo a 3-day maceration and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by an 8-month maturation in stainless steel tanks. This meticulous process, which eschews fining, filtering, and the addition of sulfites, results in a wine that showcases a lighter, fresher take on the traditionally robust Bobal varietal, ready to be enjoyed chilled.

STORY

Partida Creus, established by Italian architects-turned-vintners Antonella Gerosa and Massimo Marchiori in 2007 in Bonastre, Spain, epitomizes the revival of traditional viticulture. This dynamic duo transitioned from city life to embrace organic farming and the resurrection of nearly forgotten native varietals, steering clear of modern interventions to focus on minimalistic winemaking. With their vineyards nestled between the ancient and the ethereal, they adopt biodynamic practices, emphasizing the symbiosis between land and vine. Their commitment to sustainability extends beyond the vineyard, with a cellar crafted from recycled materials, showcasing their dedication to eco-friendly practices and a deep respect for vinicultural heritage.
