Description
In a small renovated farmhouse in the Baix Penedès, where the Mediterranean sea breeze softens the extremes of the climate and the clay-limestone soils provide an austere and saline character, Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa - a couple of Italian architects who became winegrowers through passion and stubbornness - cultivate the forgotten. Founders of Partida Creus, their project was born with the obsession of rescuing autochthonous Catalan varieties condemned to oblivion. Among them, the Vinyater, an almost extinct grape, rescued with care from old plots of mixed cultivation and replanted like someone who restores a dialect to common speech. Faithful to a radically artisanal philosophy, they work with ecological practices and minimal intervention. Partida Creus Vinyater is more than a wine: it is an act of resistance, a bottled manifesto that is committed to typicity and freshness without ornamentation.
Winemaking
The vinification of Partida Creus Vinyater is honest, direct, without make-up. The grapes are pressed whole, without destemming, in a pneumatic press that allows a delicate extraction, respecting the skin and structure. The must is slightly de-stemmed before alcoholic fermentation begins, which takes place spontaneously in stainless steel tanks, guided by the indigenous yeasts present on the grape skins and in the cellar environment. No additives, no corrections, no filters. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally, without forcing the process, bringing roundness and a certain unctuousness to the wine. Ageing is extended for 3 months on fine lees, also in stainless steel, in order to achieve a more structured and complex palate without losing the varietal liveliness.
Taste
On uncorking Partida Creus Vinyater a delicate, almost elusive fragrance is released, reminiscent of the coastal breeze at sunset. No exuberant fruit or impostor aromas: here there is green lemon zest, almond blossom, a whisper of wild fennel and the hint of still-crisp green apple. All this on a subtly saline and earthy background, evoking the proximity of the sea and the bare soils of the Baix Penedès. The palate is sharp and surprisingly electric, with a lively acidity that awakens the palate and shakes it like a brief but intense wave. The palate is slender, linear, with a saline texture that caresses the finish and leaves an aftertaste of citrus peel and wet stone. A naked, vertical wine that does not seek to please, but to provoke. Perfect for those who dare to try lively, honest wines with a wild profile.
