Description
The Partida Pedrer belongs to the Bellvisos vineyard, but this part faces north and allows the winemaker to harvest the shady freshness and the sun-drenched morning warmth. With slightly less direct sunlight in a warm climate, this produces very elegant wines. The young plantation of Grenache and Cariñena (but a very rare Priorat variety) ensures the natural creation of a red wine and a rosé wine full of complexity.
The Partida Pedrera (100% Grenache), produced by the talented couple, is an exceptional wine with a fresh minerality from the slate. The grapes are pressed with the feet and slowly fermented in oak barrels. The Partida Pedrer Priorat has a fermentation with natural yeasts on the grapes for about 20 days, followed by a maceration after alcoholic fermentation of 10 days. Fermentation and aging take place in amphora. This great Partida Pedrera Priorat has a deep garnet red color with floral notes and ripe fruit, blackcurrants and slightly spicy nose. In the mouth the wine has a velvety structure, fruity notes, mineral and supple tannins. In the mouth it is a real explosion of fruit, with a remarkably persistent taste. This 2021 vintage is the first time that 100% maturation takes place in ceramic pots of 220 and 300 liters to maintain the shelf life and purity of expression and terroir. Pedrer is a natural wine, made with red Grenache and without the addition of sulphites (vin naturale). The purity of this wine is unprecedentedly beautiful. No artificiality, but in its purest form. Enjoy it with pork tenderloin and porcini mushrooms, quail stuffed with foie gras, rabbit stew or roasted guinea fowl.

The one wine that sees no added sulfur during its life is the rosé 2017 Partida Pedrer, a wine that took almost 17 months to finish fermenting, initially in used oak barrels and the last eight months in stainless steel to avoid the wine being too oaky. It now has Garnacha and Cariñena, and the Cariñena adds freshness to the wine, which is produced with a direct pressing to have a subtle color. The nose is expressive and quite different from your average rosé. In fact, it's more like a blanc de noirs and has the profile of a white wine. It has a serious palate with very good balance, tasty flavors and a dry finish. It was bottled in May 2019. 2,000 bottles produced.
I tasted an amazing range from Sara Pérez and René Barbier. Characterful wines from Priorat with lots of personality and freshness!!

Wild berries, cherries and pomegranate. Firm, juicy tannins on the palate with a punchy peppery drive. Lots of fruit and drinkability here.

René Barbier (fourth generation of the same name !!!) started in the world of wine in 1992 at Clos Mogador with his father, the other René Barbier, the bearded and dedicated more than 20 years of his life to wine there. The first 10 years he worked mainly in the winery and then mainly in the vineyards and learned that unique land brings unique wines. This has now been proven with the iconic Clos Mogador, Venus Universal and Espectacle wines. In 2001 Rene Barbier had the opportunity to buy a small very old "coster" (steep sloping, traditional) vineyard called Els Bellvisos. This vineyard was abandoned and it was fascinating, in the middle of a steep quarry of holm oaks, the views and the absolute inhospitability are spectacular. It was during this same period that another major influence came into Rene's life in the form of Sara Pérez, his current wife and partner. The daughter of José Luis Pérez, one of the most important figures in the Spanish wine world.
Together with Sara they have brought the Bellvisos vineyard back into production. It was an uncompromising place, but one that offered the chance to make a wine that was one with nature. They started this project based on their philosophy of life: a sustainable, organic project where they could close the circle of life. This fascinating place known as Bellvisos (Bella Vista - Beautiful View) is an extremely steep "coster" or sloping vineyard which, due to the structure of the Llicorella or slate soil, makes it impossible to build vineyard terraces. It was abandoned 40 years before herbicides and chemical pesticides were available so was already completely original organic and biological. There are no neighbors because of the steep slopes around it: not even the bravest would plant a vineyard here! As a result, the area has been in perfect balance for a long time.
Ten years ago they started pruning and the abandoned vines at Bellvisos were brought back into production. They use a mule and hand plowing alternated with cutting the weeds. We apply herbal tea and milk whey as fertilizer and constantly walk through the vines. All manual and aimed at maintaining balance between the freshness of the plot and the depth that is typical Priorat (that which makes the wines so unique). We decide when to harvest based on our taste buds and our intuition… according to a very personal criterion. We prepare each wine in the vineyard by reproducing the wild yeasts ourselves that will lead to a natural alcoholic fermentation, preserving the different aromas according to each vintage.
The Bellvisos and the Partida del Pedrer wines come from this great unique, authentic vineyard in the heart of the Priorat.
