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...

Product notes
Made from 100% xarel·lo from old vineyards grown organically and biodynamically on our Cal Miret estates in the Penedès. Harvested by hand and in small boxes to avoid oxidation of the must. On arrival at the winery and after a light maceration of 4 hours, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in new and second year French (Allier) and Hungarian barrels for 18 days at an average temperature of 17°C. After fermentation, the wine is aged in the same barrels for a further 4 months on fine lees with periodic stirring to suspend the lees. Wine made with biodynamic and grapes and minimal intervention in the cellar. Vegan friendly wine.
Tasting notes
Sight Pale yellow with slightly greenish reflections. Clear and transparent. Nose Good olfactory intensity, with notes of very ripe white fruits and flowers on a well-integrated toasted background. Mouth Smooth entry on the palate, with volume and oily sensations coming from the work with batonnage. The fruit again predominates over the wood, leaving a pleasant, balanced passage and a very agreeable, long aftertaste of white fruits.
