Partida Creus

In 2001 two architects from Turin, Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, sold their practice, moved to the village of Bonastre in the Baix Penedès, and went looking for abandoned parcels of indigenous vines. Neither had formal winemaking training. They bought a ruined cottage, restored it, and began identifying plots of old local varieties that other growers had given up on because the yields were too low.

Bonastre sits in the Massís de Bonastre, a rugged limestone massif inland from Tarragona, well away from the northern Penedès. The estate is worked biodynamically, with horse and donkey in the rows, and the focus is on varieties close to extinction locally: Garrut, Sumoll, Gra Gros, Queixal de Llop and Vermell, alongside Macabeu, Xarel·lo, Garnatxa and Samsó.

Everything ferments on wild yeast with nothing added at any stage. No fining, no filtration, no sulfur of any kind. The cuvées are named with two-letter abbreviations, TN, VN, GN, XL and the rest, and they also make MUZ vermouth from estate grapes. Production is over 100,000 bottles a year, which makes them one of the larger natural operations in the region. They are members of Slow Food International.
