Finca Parera – BRUTAL 2022

Partida Creus is a winery located in Catalonia, Spain that was established in 2001 by Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerona. They are recognized as pioneers of natural wine and are committed to reviving old vines of indigenous grape varieties. Sustainability is a top priority for them, and they achieve this by avoiding the use of pesticides and hand harvesting their grapes with the help of animals. They practice minimal intervention in the cellar, and fermentation takes place in steel tanks. Partida Creus is a testament to the power of natural wine, regional grape varieties, and the beauty of sustainable viticulture.

Finca Parera Brutal 2022 is made from biodynamically farmed grapes grown on calcareous clay soils at 300–500 meters in the Penedès region. The grapes are hand-harvested. The wine is made from a 50/50 blend of Gewürztraminer and Malvasia de Sitges. Fermentation takes place with wild yeasts and whole clusters. It is aged for 8 months in stainless steel without filtration or fining. The nose shows notes of peach, rose petals, and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is textured with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a touch of salinity on the finish. Serve slightly chilled – a vivid, expressive reflection of the vineyard.
