WINEMAKER'S NOTES

VN Blanco a hallmark of their commitment to reviving ancient, neglected varietals, is a field blend of Garnatxa Blanca, Macabeo, Moscatell, Vinyater, Xarel-lo, Parsé, and Parellada, organically cultivated on calcareous clay soils. This wine emerges from meticulous hands-on processes: handpicked grapes, short 1-3 day maceration, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, followed by a 2-month maturation. It is bottled unfiltered, without fining, and with no added sulfites, encapsulating a unique freshness and complexity.

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.
