Cava Blanca Cusiné
2011
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...

The Chardonnay fermented in stainless steel tanks for two weeks, at 16° C. The Pinot Noir fermented in new French oak barrels for 16 days. The second fermentation took place in bottle, following the traditional method. The wine aged in bottle for at least 30 months.
Yellow color with light golden reflections. The wine shows a beautiful crown of fine bubbles. The nose offers complex and subtle aromas with delicate notes of fresh almonds, hazelnuts, honey, orange blossoms and fresh figs. Fresh and round, the palate reveals notes of ripe, jammy fruits.
Deep gold hue with intense aromas of roasted pineapple, apricot, cashew and almond Danish. Quite intense and mature with creamy bubbles and a clear, dry mouth-feel. A little chewy at the end. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.

Mainly Xarel·lo, with 9% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, all farmed biodynamically. Golden in the glass, with fine bubbles. Lots of interest here: freshly cut lemons, grapefruit pith, herbs, nuts, fennel, with an underlying stony minerality. Brisk acidiy and a crisp, mouthwatering finish. A great aperitif style.

Biodynamically farmed. Organic wine. 80% Xarello, 11% Chardonnay, 9% Pinot Noir from the Les Torres vineyard at 700 m in the Penedès mountains. Traditional method. 72 months on lees. No dosage. Disgorged December 2019.
Deep gold. Rich, toasty aroma. Golden fruit – yellow plum, orange zest and apricot. Deep and inviting. Toasty and savoury on the palate, the toastiness giving a lightly charred note on the finish. Spiced and golden on the palate. A wonderfully rich, complex and bone-dry, fresh cava. Powerful, almost meaty in its density (not in its flavour). A wine-drinker's cava. (JH)
