Description
WINEMAKER: Antonella Gerosa & Massimo Marchiori
REGION: Catalunya, SP
VARIETY: Cartoixa Vermell
VITICULTURE: Organic
Partida Creus CX is an incredibly vibrant wine made from the rare Cartoixa Vermell grape. Heady nose with exotic aromas of citrus and spice. Slightly tart and funky on the palate. Pink grapefruit and peach flavours with dashes of ginger spice and a good saline minerality. Closes in a long finish. 100% Cartoixa Vermell. The fruit for this wine comes from an uncertified organic and biodynamic vineyard with clay and limestone soils. The average age of the vines are 35 years old. Hand harvesting and total destemming of the fruit. 90 days maceration on skins then pressing in pneumatic press. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel at 15-18°C using low intervention methods. Ages for 7 months in stainless steel. No filtering or fining.
Hailing from Piemonte, qualified architects Antonella Gerosa & Massimo Marchiori purchased an isolated property in Bonastre in 2001, yearning for a simpler lifestyle, to grow their own produce and reconnect with the land. Surrounded by a protected forest, planted with almond and olive trees, interspersed with rosemary, thyme and Mediterranean scrub, the couple soon discovered an abandoned vine of Sumoll, a forgotten indigenous Catalan varietal.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
