Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically grown hand-picked grapes which are vinified with little or no intervention. Winemakers often rely on indigenous yeast to catalyse natural fermentation, avoiding the use of any chemicals, additives or sulphites.
The result is wine which is alive, energetic, vibrant and unexpected – a welcomed contrast to the industrial practices of the wine industry. Valentina Passalacqua

Tasting Notes
Sumoll is a red grape native to Penedès, here given the Partida treatment. That generally means the wine has life, vibrancy and is generous with the pleasure-factor. Sumoll is a dark, thick-skinned varietal that is capable of making some very heavy, tannic red wines. Here a certain freshness prevails, but the fruit has a lovely dank, sappy depth to it, with plenty of spices coming through to finish. A bit of time in barrel rounds it out nicely without overpowering the wine. A delicious, decidedly Mediterranean affair.
