Made in small quantities, this is a delicate yet complex wine. An exquisite barrel-fermented white from producer Parés Baltà.

Producer Information

The history of Parés Baltà begins in the eighteenth century, when in 1790, the first vineyards were planted on the Parés Balta estate, vineyards that still surround the manor house where our winery is located. The old cava cellar was constructed in the beginning of the twentieth century, stone by stone. Located 10 meters underground with a natural and constant temperature of 14-15ºC, it is the perfect place for the ageing of our cavas. The barrel room has all the small details to let the wines age under the most favorable conditions, even during the warmer summers. Currently it is the third generation of the Cusiné family, Joan and Josep, who are at the head of the winery, with the unconditional help of their parents and their wives, María Elena and Marta, two women that fell in love with the brothers while learning about the world of wine and later becoming the winemakers of the winery. In the early 1990s, Joan and Josep married chemical engineer María Elena Jiménez and pharmacist Marta Casas respectively. Their love of viticulture and the world of wine were decisive for their wives to decide to join the family winery. The ladies were working in what would be their first harvest, when both decided to study oenology at the University of Tarragona, and later joined the team as the lead winemakers. Their primary challenge since then has been to combine tradition with innovation.
