Emilie Mutombo

Emilie Mutombo lives in the small town of Bonastre in Catalunya, a short drive along the coast southwest from Barcelona. If Bonastre sounds familiar, it’s because it is also where you’ll find Partida Creus. It’s here Emi relished in her role as grape grower and winemaker for a number of years and formed a passion and confidence to commit fully to her own project.

Emi now farms her own parcels of Parrellada and Sumoll near to her home and works with one of the region’s staple growers, Sebastia, to source beautifully farmed organic fruit. Her cellar is in the basement of her house and she is quickly outgrowing the three small tanks and five barrels that she have filled in the past couple of vintages. It brings me joy to see her wines here in Australia. Emi’s delicate touch and understanding of maceration is like magic.
