Partida Creus BN 2018
Regular price $46.00
BN stands for Blanco Natural and is a blend of mostly macabeu, a small percentage of Cartoixa Vermell, a white grape with light pink skins that gives this wine a peachy tint after a very brief bit of skin maceration and a touch of xarello. This wine is high energy, sour fruit mixed with tinned pineapple, zippy, salty sea spray and fresh acidity.
Partida Creus is a winemaking team made up of Massimo and Antonella, originally from Piedmonte, Italy. Now based in the Tarragona region of Catalonia, the idea of the project was to work with historical, often overlooked local varietals that in many cases were not recognised by the D.O. of the area: Penedès. This pair sought to buy and restore old vineyards, working with very expressive varietals. which they make into an impressively dizzying number of different wines.
