Tinto Natural, like its partner BN, the cepage changes each year. Vintage 2020 is a blend of Sumoll, Bobal and Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo). With a fruit forward nose, cassis and soft Mediterranean herbs, this immediately invites in the cooler months. Mulberries & plums, warming and generous yet with drive and a line of tension running through it. Inky, rocky minerality. The brush of a kiss that leaves you wanting more. With air it becomes supple, yet still with the freshness and life one expects from Partida.

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.
