Description
There are wines that do not understand fashions or rules, that make their way with an identity that is as clear as it is free. Partida Creus Ull de Llebre is one of them. Massimo and Antonella, a couple of Italian architects based in the Baix Penedès, were not looking to follow trends, but to reconnect with the land. They arrived in Catalonia and fell in love with the abandoned vineyards, the forgotten native grape varieties and a way of making wine that seemed to have been put on hold. From that impulse was born this untamed red wine, made with Ull de Llebre -the Catalan name for Tempranillo-grown organically, without chemicals or artifices.
The vineyard grows on clay-limestone soils, close to the Mediterranean, which contributes freshness and a very subtle saline touch. The climate, with its maritime influence, allows for balanced harvests, where the grapes reach maturity without losing tension. This combination of environment and sensitivity results in a wine that speaks frankly: direct, juicy, without make-up.
Winemaking
The vinification process of Partida Creus Ull de Llebre begins with destemming, followed by a short three-day maceration to preserve the fruit without over-extracting tannins. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tankswith indigenous yeasts, respecting the natural rhythm of the must. No sulphites are added and no more intervention than necessary. After fermentation, the wine rests for eight months in stainless steel and is refined for a further five months in the bottle before being released onto the market.
Taste
In the mouth, Partida Creus Ull de Llebre is pure agility. Light-bodied and fluid in texture, it unfolds with a freshness reminiscent of wild blackberries, pomegranate and a slight hint of red apple. The tannins are present but tamed, accompanying a palate that combines the rustic with the playful. The slightly spicy finish invites another sip. A wine to enjoy without pretensions, but with all the personality of the most authentic Penedès.
