TN stands for Tinto Natural, the house red from Partida Creus in Bonastre, Baix Penedès. The 2018 is a blend of Tempranillo (locally called Ull de Llebre), Sumoll, and Bobal — three grapes grown on the clay-limestone soils of the Massís de Bonastre, near Tarragona. The blend shifts every vintage depending on what the year delivers, making each edition its own wine rather than a consistent formula.
Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, with four days of maceration. The wine then ages for ten months in large old wooden barrels before being bottled without fining, filtration, or any added sulfur dioxide. Partida Creus stopped all sulfur additions entirely in 2013.
The result is a low-alcohol, high-acid red built for drinking rather than cellaring. Expect wild strawberry, sour cherry, dried cranberry, and a light earthy undertow — with soft tannins and a bright, almost saline finish that reflects the lean, mineral character of the Penedès terroir. Chill it down slightly before serving.
