Description
There are wines that seem to be made to break the rules, to blur the lines between white and red and remind us that pleasure lies in the unexpected. This is how Partida Creus CL Clarete was born: not as an experimental idea, but as a natural consequence of the love for the freest tradition of the Mediterranean. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, architects of Italian origin, came to the Baix Penedès looking for a change of life and ended up rescuingold forgotten vineyards - sometimes planted by previous generations who are no longer here - and working the land as before, with absolute respect and minimum intervention.
Partida Creus CL Clarete is an ode to that authenticity: a wine made from native varieties that almost disappear if no one names them. It is made with Garnacha tinta and Garnacha blanca, two varieties that, when put together, seem to speak the same language of juicy fruit, silky texture and Mediterranean freshness. There is no fixed recipe, because this wine is remade every year with what the vineyard offers. What does remain is its wild character, its electric freshness and that pale ruby hue that cannot be pigeonholed.
We are in Bonastre, a few kilometres from the Mediterranean, in an area of chalky soils and a dry climate with sea breezes that cool the vines and lengthen the ripening process. In these places, where tractors do not reach and everything is done by hand, agriculture is organic by conviction and yields are naturally low.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand, in small boxes, with direct selection in the field. The grapes are pressed together -white and red- without being completely destemmed, and spontaneous fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. No sulphites are added, nor is it filtered or clarified, because at Partida Creus the wine is bottled just as it is: living, changing, an honest reflection of the land and the year.
Taste
In the mouth, Partida Creus CL Clarete is juicy, light and absolutely vibrant. It has notes of wild strawberry, sour cherry and orange peel, with a herbal and mineral background that adds depth. Crisp acidity makes it irresistibly refreshing, with a dry, slightly saline finish. It's the kind of wine that begs for a second sip before finishing the first. And yes, it may be claret, but it doesn't need labels. Just the desire to enjoy it.
