WINEMAKER'S NOTES

SM is crafted from 100% Sumoll de Gra Petit, originating from organically farmed, calcareous clay soils with vines dating back to the 1950s. The grapes are meticulously handpicked, with half being destemmed before undergoing a 3-day maceration period for color extraction, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for 8 months in stainless steel and an additional 5 months in bottle, ensuring its character while eschewing fining, filtration, and the addition of sulphites.

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.
