A Malvasia clone (native to Catalonia!) gone crazy - this is quite possibly its only bottling. Bright pithy acidity offsets sherried (oxidative!) notes or candied orange. Another Creus banger.

Partida Creus makes wine from dozens of indigenous grape varieties grown on old-vines in the region. Their yields are low; the flavour concentration and complexity high.

All of the vineyards are cared for organically (implementing some biodynamic practices), by hand; and, with the help of their trusty horse and donkey.

In the cellar, their intentionally hands-off approach continues. The wines are fermented with native yeasts and are never fined, filtered or sulphured.
