Description

Partida Creus SW 2017

Partida Creus SW is a sweet red wine that smells of dry sherry, nuts and herbs mixed with dried cranberries and figs. The aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate.

The fruit comes from vineyards around the Partida Creus winery in Penedès, Spain. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtering before bottling.

Fruity & Rich Desserts

Characterised by notes of rich fruit jam/compote with a touch of spice, expect notes of prunes, plums, chocolate and spice.

Many are fortified, or are made from passito grapes

Late Harvest

By leaving the grapes on the vines longer than usual, the grapes become naturally dehydrated, and is used to make wines that are higher in resudual sugar & potential alcohol
They do not necessarily have to have noble rot, and is probably the easiest method to achieve sweet wines
