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...

June 2020 (Vintage 2019)

Lovely aroma of ripe pears and creamy stone fruit, really creamy, somehow like puréed fruit with a touch of vanilla even though the wine is unoaked and tangy. The lees have given a richness on the nose and a touch of spice on the palate. Bags of lovely fresh yet rounded fruit and a surprising intensity on the palate for a wine with such moderate alcohol. Fresh aftertaste that is more swtony than fruity.
