VINEYARD HEALTH
Cultivation of the wine grapes. Almost all wines at NOTWASTED implement organic, biodynamic or regenerative vineyard practices.
-
SKIN CONTACT
The skins of the grapes can form part of the fermentation process. Unlike conventional white wine, natural winemakers will often leave skins of the grapes for part (or all) of the fermentation, the result is a cloudy and tannin filled wine.
-
FILTERING
The filtering of the wine to remove particles post fermentation. Filtering particles may be aesthetically pleasing, but is often viewed as ‘unnatural’ and not filtering is said to create a more unique wine.
-
FINING
Fining wines uses an agent (often gelatin or bentonite) to attract miniscule solids and join them together. Again this is seen as ‘unnatural’.
-
SULPHUR
The amount of sulfur added to the wine. The affect of suplphites in wine on the human body is one of the most debated and researched parts of the winemaking process. Conventional wines often present up to 300mg per litre of wine.
-
YEAST
The type of yeast used. Imported or wild. Yeast is crucial to break down grape sugars into alcohol. Wild yeast, relies on it naturally occuring as part of the fruit harvested. Although harder to execute, it’s often part of a natural winemaker’s process.

About the maker
Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerona are both Italian architects originally from Piedmont. Around the year 2000, they moved out to the country in search of a “slower” lifestyle. Now making a bit a of cult wine.
Partida Creus produce a very limited quantity and high-end original wines. The initiative was started in 2007 by Massimo and Antonella, they refurbished an old agricultural building, converting it into a cellar with recycled materials and solid structures. Since then they are strong and shining leaders in both the recovery and preservation of Bonastre’s viniculture heritage in the Baix Penedès region. In the field, their jobs are shared with Orazio and Vincenza, a donkey and a mare. They seem to love engaging in traditional workmanship and are environmentally conscious on every level possible.
