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.

Production notes
A Natural wine made from 100% Xarel-lo with no sulfites added. As with all Pares Balta wines, the grapes are hand harvested with great care. Around 10% Gewürztraminer grape skins are added to the Xarel-lo must. Natural alcoholic fermentation with wild yeasts is in stainless steel tanks. The punch down of the grape skins happens twice a day during the maceration process. The skins stay in contact for 1 month and the wine takes on the wonderful amber color. Very little filtration is carried out on the wine which can leave some haziness and sediment.
Tasting notes
The mandarin and spice notes are lifted by the white flower and pepper aromas from the Gewurztraminer skins. A medium body wine with a sleek mid-palate and fresh fruits such as mandarin, pomelo, and pear. The floral notes from the Gewurztraminer make an appearance giving the wine a bright and lively finish. A very fine and delicious orange wine.
