La Catalogne et son Histoire Viticole : Entre Héritage et Excellence
La Catalogne, berceau de traditions millénaires, incarne une terre de vignobles où l’histoire, la géographie et le savoir-faire se conjuguent pour produire des vins uniques. Au fil des siècles, cette région au nord-est de l’Espagne a su s’imposer comme un acteur clé de la viticulture méditerranéenne, grâce à son dynamisme et son sens de l’innovation.
Une Histoire Ancrée dans l’Antiquité
La culture de la vigne en Catalogne remonte au 6ᵉ siècle avant J.-C., lorsque les Grecs introduisirent cette tradition sur les côtes méditerranéennes. Les Carthaginois poursuivirent cet héritage, mais ce sont les Romains qui lui donnèrent son premier élan de prospérité. En 200 avant J.-C., la région devient un centre viticole majeur de l’Empire romain, exportant ses vins jusqu’aux tables des Césars. La DO Alella, connue pour ses vins délicats, témoigne de cette époque où la vigne et Barcelone étaient déjà au cœur d’un port stratégique du commerce du vin.
Les Méandres d’une Histoire Mouvementée
Après la chute de Rome, la Catalogne connut une succession d’invasions. Les Wisigoths, les Alains et, au 8ᵉ siècle, les Maures marquèrent la région. Si la présence musulmane freina temporairement la production de vin, l’arrivée de Charlemagne, qui intégra la Catalogne dans son empire, relança la viticulture.
Aux 9ᵉ et 12ᵉ siècles, la région consolida son identité sous les comtes de Barcelone et lors de son union avec le royaume d’Aragon. Finalement, l’union avec la Castille en 1479 ouvrit la voie à l’émergence d’un empire espagnol où la Catalogne devint un acteur clé de la production vinicole.
La Révolution du Cava : Une Pionnière de la Modernité
La véritable révolution viticole catalane arriva au 19ᵉ siècle, avec l’invention du cava. En 1872, Josép Raventós produisit le premier vin effervescent espagnol selon la méthode champenoise dans son domaine de Codorníu, dans le Penedès. Ce fut un succès retentissant, plaçant le cava parmi les meilleurs vins effervescents du monde.
D’autres grands noms comme Torres et Celler Perelada apportèrent des innovations majeures, jetant les bases de la viticulture moderne en Espagne. Grâce à ces pionniers, la Catalogne gagna ses lettres de noblesse et s’imposa comme une région incontournable sur la scène vinicole internationale.
Des Sols Variés et des Conditions Idéales
La richesse viticole de la Catalogne repose sur sa diversité climatique et géologique. Le climat méditerranéen des zones côtières, avec ses étés chauds et ses hivers pluvieux, contraste avec le climat continental de l’intérieur des terres, plus rude et marqué par des hivers rigoureux.
Les sols, eux aussi variés – argiles calcaires, ardoises, roches volcaniques et quartz – permettent la culture de nombreux raisins. Cette diversité offre une palette de saveurs et d’arômes qui font la spécificité des vins catalans.
Une Région de Vins et de Traditions
Aujourd’hui, la Catalogne compte 52 000 hectares de vignobles , où sont produits des vins emblématiques. Le cava demeure le joyau de la région, mais les rancios et vins doux traditionnels continuent de perpétuer l’héritage ancestral. Par ailleurs, la Catalogne est un leader mondial dans l'élaboration de bouchons en liège, un autre signe de son importance dans l’univers viticole.
Les Cépages Autochtones de Catalogne : Une Diversité Méditerranéenne Unique
La Catalogne, riche d’une tradition viticole millénaire, se distingue par ses raisins rouges et blancs autochtones, qui incarnent l’essence de ses sols méditerranéens. Qu’ils soient rouges ou blancs, ces raisins reflètent l’identité culturelle et géographique de la région, offrant des vins aux profils variés, typiques de ce coin du nord-est de l’Espagne.
Cépages Rouges Autochtones Garnacha ( Grenache )
L a garnacha , ou grenache , est l’un des raisins rouges emblématiques de la Catalogne. Polyvalente, elle produit des vins rouges et rosés aux arômes fruités (cerise, fraise), avec des tanins modérés et une structure généreuse. Grâce à sa résistance à la chaleur, le grenache prospère sur les sols pauvres et caillouteux du territoire, offrant des vins souvent utilisés en assemblage pour équilibrer puissance, douceur et même créer des vins doux
Carignan (Cariñena ou Samsó)
Le carignan , connu localement sous le nom de "samsó," est un raisin rouge robuste aux racines catalanes profondes. Il donne des vins rouges puissants, avec une couleur rouge intense, une acidité marquée et des tanins fermes. Bien qu’il soit souvent assemblé pour atténuer son caractère parfois austère, il excelle dans des vins rouges structurés et complexes qui vieillissent admirablement.
Monastrell ( Mourvèdre )
Raisin rouge Cultivé sporadiquement en Catalogne, le monastrell apporte une touche unique aux assemblages grâce à ses arômes de fruits noirs, ses tanins prononcés et son excellent potentiel de garde. Ses vins rouges catalans sont profonds, avec des notes épicées et parfois terreuses, parfaitement adaptés aux sols ensoleillés du territoire.
Cépages Blancs Autochtones Macabeu (Macabeo ou Viura)
Le macabeu , cépage blanc phare de la Catalogne, est la clé de nombreux vins blancs et effervescents, notamment le cava. Résistant à la chaleur, il donne des bouteilles aux arômes floraux et fruités, bien qu’il manque parfois d’acidité. Souvent associé au xarel-lo et à la parellada, il apporte fraîcheur et élégance à ces assemblages, avec des notes subtiles de fruits blancs et de fleurs.
Xarel-lo
Le xarel-lo , cultivé presque exclusivement en Catalogne, est l’un des piliers du cava. Il se distingue par sa structure, sa fraîcheur et son caractère unique. Vinifié seul ou en assemblage, ce raisin blanc donne des saveurs terreuses et équilibrées entre douceur et acidité, avec une texture généreuse et une bonne résistance aux maladies, ainsi que des notes minérales marquées qui enrichissent son profil, faisant de lui un excellent vin blanc.
Parellada
La parellada est un raisin délicat, principalement utilisé pour le cava, où il est assemblé avec le macabeu et le xarel-lo. Il apporte finesse et légèreté aux crus , avec des arômes subtils de pomme verte, d’agrumes, de fleurs blanches et de notes fruitées, offrant un vin blanc rafraîchissant.
Une Tradition Viticole à Préserver
Les raisins rouges et blancs autochtones de Catalogne ne sont pas seulement des témoins de son histoire, mais aussi un levier pour la création de vins authentiques, profondément enracinés dans leur terres.

UL Ull de llebre Red 2020
Partida Creus
This wine is highly original: behind the minerality, (black) fruit, blueberry, and freshness, we notice very fine tannins and aromatic herbs. A serious wine, a little grave, but did you know that serious wines make you joyful? Its length on the palate is astonishing. Decanting is highly recommended so that this wine can play its own unique music, down to the finest notes. A recent creation, this red from Partida Creus is made from the ancient and indigenous grape variety called ull de llebre, which, you guessed it, means "hare's eye." What you might not guess is that this is the Catalan name for Tempranillo. It's actually an old local version of this very Iberian grape variety, which Massimo and Antonella have nurtured in their own way.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both in terms of wine and history—we're talking about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, originally from Piedmont—and even from the Langhe region, where wine is well-known—first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug bit them, and they soon abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they find a quantity of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties that they passionately revive to save these varieties – and their wines – from oblivion. For them, it is not just a matter of heritage rescue, no: it is a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will never stop making from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravel soils, poor and poorly irrigated, where the vines suffer to give their best juice. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic viticulture, entirely manual and natural in order to give new life to these wines. Vinyater, sumoll, garrut, monastrell, ull de perdiu, ull de llebre, sumoll, queixal de llop, cariñena, trepat, subirat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, vinel.lo, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel.lo: Partida Creus is a veritable conservatory of native Catalan grape varieties. It also grows moscatel, grenache, merlot and cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with the winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single-variety wines are common among them, alongside extensive blends, all in the styles dear to Catalonia: still wine, "ancestral" sparkling wine, and even vermouth. The bottles themselves are works of art: bare glass, simply marked with two large stenciled initials that denote the vintage. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush yet always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, exude life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.
GT Ancestral Sparkling Red 2018
Partida Creus
A Catalan cousin of Mourvèdre, the Garrut grape variety forms the basis of this dazzling wine, which revisits the classic sparkling wine in a black fruit way: intense, bright, earthy, completely atypical, even a little cracked, reminiscent of the best of Lambrusco. A perfect companion for Ibérico bellota ham, fine chorizos, and all high-end cured meats, as well as pâtés, terrines, and spicy dishes. It evokes the family vine, artisanal production, and free wine.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Magnum VN Red 2018, Partida Creus
VN, Vinel·lo red, is a particularly successful blend of native grape varieties: samsó (cinsault), garrut (mourvèdre), trepat, ull de perdiu, queixal de llop, sumoll and grenache noir, harvested on predominantly limestone soils. Vinification is done individually according to the varieties. No filtration, no additives, no added sulfites. A supple and hyperfruity classic "à la jura", an everyday wine, easy to drink, with a beautiful fresh expression and notes of pomegranate.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
GT Ancestral Sparkling Red Wine 2015

Brutal Bestial Rouge 2020
Partida Creus
Fine and pleasant bubbles, liveliness and freshness: Brutal Bestial is the Partida Creus version of the Brutal cuvée principle, born at the Bar Brutal in Barcelona and used by a large number of natural winemakers throughout Europe. This version is a natural sparkling wine that combines several graces: a light cherry color with a slightly brick color, 100% Bobal grape variety, fresh and tangy, perfect for aperitifs and table wines. Brutal Bestial first offers a bouquet of red fruits with a hint of citrus peel and a creamy mouthfeel. Strawberry and raspberry notes are intertwined with earthy, mineral touches, a hint of yeast, and hints of rhubarb, blackcurrant, and blueberry. This kind of fruity and mineral complexity makes it suitable for pairing with oily fish in all its forms: sardines, mackerel, tuna, or anchovies. Try it with mackerel sashimi or marinated sardines. These pairings are only indicative: it is perfect with many dishes.

SP Subirat Parent Blanc 2020,
Partida Creus
This 100% Subirat Parent wine is crisp and aromatic, with a nose of ripe white fruits, melon, and wildflowers. Agile on the palate, fresh and straightforward, lemony and slightly saline, it offers a long finish tinged with a delicate bitterness typical of the estate. Subirat Parent, one of the oldest Catalan grape varieties and a close relative of Malvasia, remains rare even in its country of origin. The clay-limestone soil enhances its freshness and integrity. The harvest is pressed after a three-day skin maceration. The must is settled and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. Three months of rest in vats on fine lees before bottling.

The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single varietals are common among them, alongside extensive blends, all in the styles dear to Catalonia: still wine, "ancestral" sparkling wine, and even vermouth. The bottles themselves are works of art: bare glass, simply marked with two large stenciled initials that indicate the cuvée. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits exclamations of joy. This red Sumoll, a very old Catalan red grape variety long neglected, is a favorite at Partida Creus. Not very productive, Sumoll gives its best on poor soils, which gives it great concentration, a beautiful balance, a black and juicy fruit, dense and generous, notes of spices and Mediterranean plants, and finally an earthy, animal and smoky character. The short maceration allows to preserve the freshness and acidity. It will be excellent with red meats, roasts, duck, but the range of its pairings is in truth very vast.
Garnatxa Wine Beer 2020, Cyclic Beer Farm
Cyclic Beer Farm
Packaged in 75 cl bottles so everyone can satisfy their thirst, the beers from the Barcelona-based brewery Cyclic Beer Farm play between classicism and flights of inspiration, in a contrasting and creative way, in the Catalan style. Based on classic principles and a Belgian fermentation model, the two brewer-winemakers Joshua and Alberto play with ingredients, aromas, and macerations, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and grape skins from Catalan grape varieties, to achieve flavors reminiscent of an unidentified drinkable object (OBNI). Whether they assert themselves on balance or on a certain controlled dissonance, these beers will never leave you indifferent and will reveal their full potential in the summer heat, served well chilled. Garnatxa (6.7% alcohol) is part of the Cyclic Beer Farm 2020 Wine Ales series, which also includes Carignan, Xarel·10 and Trepat. They are fermented with the skins of local grape varieties. All the grapes are organic and harvested by hand before being pressed or macerated for winemaking. The resulting marc (skins and stems) is then added to already fermented and aged beers, selected for each type of grape variety. A maceration of one to six months follows to allow the residual sugar to complete its fermentation and the character of the grape variety to be communicated to the beer through infusion. Before bottling, brewers decide whether or not to add beer to achieve the desired flavors, based on acidity, the natural taste of the grape variety, tannins, complexity, and drinkability.
Brewers choose beers from three bases: their saison, their sour base (fermented from their lactic acid bacteria blend and their indigenous yeast blend), and their “funky” base (indigenous yeast and a cocktail of brettanomyces yeasts). After blending and bottling, the beers referment and mature for varying lengths of time.
Here, the garnatxa (Grenache) and carinyena (Carignan) grape varieties give this beer a lovely pink color and fruity and tannic accents, enhanced with a touch of wildness from the funky fermentation base.
Sumoll Red 2019,
Cyclic Beer Farm is a duo of friends from Barcelona, Alberto and Joshua. Based in the Catalan capital, they have two sides to their business: beer (Cyclic Beer) and wine (Cyclic Wine). The beers, inspired by the Belgian model, are available in surprising and colorful ranges where expertly measured yeast cocktails and house brews combine with varied macerations of fruits, vegetables, herbs and grape marc from traditional Catalan varieties, the latter taken after the fermentation of their wines - because the second part is the wine, made exclusively from native Catalan grape varieties. As merchant winemakers, Alberto and Joshua themselves harvest by hand from organic wineries throughout Catalonia and bring the harvest to their winery-brewery workshop in La Sagrera (Barcelona). There they sort the grapes, tread them under foot and vat the must using exclusively indigenous yeasts. Depending on the type of wine, skin maceration takes place on the skins and stems for between one and three days for the whites and between six and fifteen days for the reds. The free-run juice is then transferred without pressing into stainless steel tanks where fermentation continues before bottling. The skins and stems, and sometimes part of the juice, are then used for the maceration of saison beers: an interesting synergy between beer and wine. No sulfites are added to the vinification; nothing is added or removed from the wine, which is never filtered. The harvest and other viticultural operations are decided according to the lunar calendar.
This all-Sumoll red wine (a traditional Catalan grape variety) comes from almost century-old vines planted in Mas Llorenç, in the Lower Penedès, on limestone soils. The altitude of the plot is 260 meters. The harvest is sorted, 10% foot-crushed, then undergoes 27 days of semi-carbonic maceration. After a second, very moderate crushing, fermentation continues in stainless steel tanks. This wine truly reflects the grape variety's signature, with a very fresh attack, lovely acidity, fruity complexity, and moderate tannins. Its modest alcohol content makes it a good aperitif and get-together wine. It will be a hit at a summer barbecue.
Trepat Red 2019,

No sulfites are added to the vinification; nothing is added or removed from the wine, which is never filtered. The harvest and other viticultural operations are decided according to the lunar calendar.
The tannins have pride of place in this 100% Trepat red wine (a traditional Catalan grape variety); they assert themselves from the attack with a crisp acidity. Rustic and fruity, invigorating, almost a gurgle (it needs a little time and rest to become fully so). The grapes grow on a clay-limestone plot in Prenafeta (municipality of La Conca de Barberà) and the vines are two years old. The altitude is 400 meters. The harvest, hand-picked, is crushed and then macerated for twelve days on the skins and stalks, with punching down every two days. A second, very gentle crushing precedes the second phase of fermentation in stainless steel vats.
XL Xarel lo Blanc 2017, Partida Creus
Made from the native xarel lo grape variety, this smoky, mineral, and explosive white is perfect for seafood, fish, and white meats. Drinkable and enjoyable beyond description, yet complex, deep, and persistent.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
The right product pairing: Sliced organic Irish smoked salmon
BN Blanco Natural White 2022,
A fresh and vibrant Macabeu from the clay-limestone terroir of Catalonia
BN Blanco Natural 2022 is a pure and luminous interpretation of the Macabeu grape variety, produced in the sunny Bonastre region of Catalonia. This natural white wine, vinified using direct pressing and aged for 8 months in stainless steel vats, captures the essence of the clay-limestone terroir while revealing a fresh and thirst-quenching personality. With only 10% alcohol, it is part of the line of light, easy-drinking wines full of character.
Tasting: a brilliant freshness
BN Blanco Natural seduces with its aromatic delicacy. On the nose, it reveals notes of juicy pear, white flowers and a touch of minerality. On the palate, freshness dominates, supported by a well-balanced acidity and a silky texture. The subtly saline finish reflects the maritime character of its terroir. This wine is a true call to conviviality and simple pleasures.
An ideal wine for gourmet moments
This light white goes perfectly with grilled fish, seafood or delicate dishes made with fresh vegetables. It also goes wonderfully with summer salads, fresh cheeses or dishes with Mediterranean influences. Versatile, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with a meal.
Served chilled, between 10 and 12°C, this wine does not require decanting and can be enjoyed immediately. It also offers a good aging potential of 5 years, allowing its aromas to gain complexity over time.
MUZ Rouge 2021
Partida Creus
Here's a great organic and natural vermouth from Partida Creus, an Iberian classic from Baix-Penedés (Catalonia). Made without additives or sulfites, MUZ Ver-Mut is a fortified sweet wine with plant maceration. Vermouth in the Spanish sense is not a mixology ingredient but a table wine made to accompany tapas and the finest dishes.
Vinification
To achieve this alchemic work that is MUZ Catalan vermouth, Partida Creus brings together a barrel of red wine, another of young wine and a third of dry white wine, all with the addition of a secret blend of macerated aromatic herbs. The rest? That's also a secret.
Tasting
MUZ vermouth from Partida Creus is a fruity, smooth and original treat, to share with friends. Black berries, blackcurrant, blackberry, a fine bitterness and a slight sweet sensation. Packaged in a one-liter bottle, MUZ will pair with all imaginable tapas, zakouskis, mezes and other kemias. We will also like it with Iberian charcuterie or smoked sardines.

SK Muskat Alejandria White 2022
Partida Creus
SK Muskat Alejandria is a deliciously fresh, fragrant, and aromatic white wine with a hint of orange. The nose receives a hint of marzipan, and the palate confirms this sensation by adding complex notes: lychee, pear, flowering meadow, plenty of freshness and crispness. A long, satiny finish. This splendid wine, made from Muscat of Alexandria (Moscatel), classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), is vinified dry by Partida Creus. It goes very well with raw, grilled or sauced fish, spicy dishes such as fish or poultry curries, Middle Eastern, Indian and Sichuan cuisines.

The Catalan winery Partida Creus is the creation of two Piedmontese from the Langhe (where wine is well-known), Antonella Gerosa and Massimo Marchiori, who first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug tickled them, and soon they abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they found a quantity of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties that they passionately revived to save these varieties – and their wines – from oblivion. For them, it's not just a matter of heritage rescue, no: it's a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will continue to make from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravel soils, poor and poorly irrigated, where the vines suffer to give their best juice. This is why their estate is as important from a winemaking perspective as it is from a historical perspective - we are talking here about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic viticulture, entirely manual and natural in order to give new life to these wines.

SP Subirat Parent White 2021
SP Subirat Parent, classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), is, as its name suggests, made 100% from the native Catalan grape variety Subirat Parent. It is crisp and aromatic, with a nose of ripe white fruits, melon, and wildflowers. Agile on the palate, fresh and straightforward, lemony and slightly saline, it offers a long finish tinged with a delicate bitterness typical of the estate. Subirat Parent, one of the oldest Catalan grape varieties and a close relative of Malvasia, remains rare even in its country of origin. The clay-limestone soil enhances its freshness and integrity. The harvest is pressed after a three-day skin maceration. The must is settled and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. It rests for three months in vats on fine lees before bottling.

AA Anonimo Ancestral Rosé 2018
Partida Creus
The olfactory and flavor notes of this Anonimo Ancestral evoke undergrowth, grass, and yeast, along with red fruit. This wine is a sparkling rosé with a creamy texture and fine bubbles, offering a magnificent mineral sensation on the palate, superb texture, and remarkable freshness that requires a very low serving temperature (8-10°C) in a Bordeaux or tulip glass. Obtained using the bottle refermentation method and aged for twelve months on fine lees, it is not filtered or sulfite-added. It is the result of a blend of several traditional Catalan grape varieties that differ depending on the color: for example, Xarel lo, Macabeu, Parellada, Moscatel, and Ull de Llebre. The blend and its proportions are subject to variation depending on the vintage. It pairs well with Mediterranean dishes, particularly those containing garlic, for example, snails Burgundy style, a Romesco sauce, cod aioli, etc. Anonimo Ancestral is a friend of all grilled dishes, including fish and seafood (octopus, squid, etc.).
