Partida Creus BB Brutal Bestial Pet Nat

BB Brutal Bestial is a pet nat made from 100% Bobal by Partida Creus. The Bobal vines grow as old bush vines in Narboneta, in the province of Cuenca, approximately 100 kilometers inland from the Penedès at an altitude of around 350 meters — a warmer, drier site than the winery's home base in Bonastre. The grapes are harvested by hand in the cool of the morning, then transported back to Bonastre for vinification.

The wine is made by the ancestral method: native yeast fermentation begins and the wine is bottled before it completes, trapping the CO2 produced during secondary fermentation in bottle. It spends a minimum of 10 months on the lees in bottle before disgorgement. No sulfites are added at any stage. The wine is unfined and unfiltered.

Bobal is Spain's third most planted red grape variety, though it remains little known outside its native regions of Cuenca and Valencia. Partida Creus treats it as a focal point of its work recovering historically significant indigenous Catalan and Spanish varieties. The BB designation refers directly to Bobal.

The result is a dry, lightly sparkling rosé-style pet nat with fine persistent bubbles, vivid acidity, and red fruit character from the thick-skinned Bobal grape. It is classified as Vino de Mesa, as Partida Creus works outside DO regulations to preserve these varieties and methods. 13% ABV.
