The cult status natural wines of Partida Creus are produced by Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerona who are an Italian couple originally from Piedmont. Both were architects who initially moved to Barcelona for work but in the early 2000s they moved out to the country in search of a slower lifestyle. They settled in the Bonastre region characterised by its clay and limestone soils and started organically farming all kinds of local foodstuffs but had trouble finding wines made with the same ethos. So, they started making their own by recovering old, abandoned vines of forgotten local grape varietals. As such, the grapes used (or cépage) change in these wines annually.

SK is 100% Moscatel macerated on skins for approximately one month, elevage in tank.

Alluring aromas, jasmine and white florals with some kaffir lime. A detailed palate of lychee, Turkish delight, wispy phenolics and talc. The fruit is so bright and the acidity perfectly integrated. Its seductive with great length.
