BN, 2023

Whatever Partida Creus's old Catalan vineyards over-produce ends up in here, so the mix changes every year. Nothing added, nothing filtered out.

Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa swapped city life in Italy for Bonastre, a village in Catalonia's Baix Penedès, and brought abandoned vineyards of near-forgotten local grapes back to life. BN gathers whatever those vines over-produce, so it shifts each year: 2023 is mostly Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo with 15% Xarel·lo. Wild yeast, steel tank, no fining, no filtering, no added sulphur. A hazy, savoury white with grip from a short spell on skins (a white left on its skins like a red).
