About this winery

Parés Baltà is a family owned winery in the Penedès region of Spain with traditions dating back to the 18th century. In 1790, the first vines were planted on the estate that now surrounds the winery. Today however, more than 220 years later, almost everything is different. The acquisition of the winery in 1978 by Mr. Joan Cusiné Hill, born in 1917 in Bellvei del Penedés, and the addition of the exemplary estates “La Torreta” and “Els Pujols” mark the beginning of the Parés Baltà...

(Vintage 2021)

An elegant and mineral white with white blossom, pear and a peachy accent to the nose. Dry and chalky in texture with incisive, fresh acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Vegan. Drink now.

J.H., February 2019 (Vintage 2018)

Organically farmed Xarello (85%) and Sauvignon Blanc (15%) grown high up, 'Close to the sky, on the top of the highest Penedès mountains', according to the producer's website. Four hours on skins, fermented in tank at 16 ºC and then on lees, with stirring, for three months.
Quite smoky to start with and this blows off to reveal intense white peach and just a slight herbal citrus note. Very tight and almost lean on the palate though there is plenty of fruit, its just extremely taut, crisp and zesty. Bone dry with a light dry grip on the finish. Piercing freshness rather than great persistence.
