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. Since 2000, the management has been in the hands of the two grandsons, Joan and Josep Cusiné Carol.

Product notes

In the Les Torres estate, at the top of the Penedès, is the vineyard with the freshest and sweetest Grenache. It is a native Grenache from Penedès, . Its resistance to extreme temperatures and its easy adaptation to poor soils make it a perfect variety for making quality wines in a Mediterranean climate. Versatility is another of Garnacha’s strengths, which is why Parés Baltà are fans of it.

Production notes

The grapes are harvested by hand and after receiving the grapes in the winery, they are gently pressed and fermented at 20ºC in stainless steel tanks for 2 weeks with 3 daily remuage. Indigena Red is aged in new and second year French oak barrels for little time so as not to add too much wood and to maintain its characteristic fruity touch.

If you don’t like wine, this wine is not for you. That should spell it out. The Indigena Garnatxa (or garnacha, or grenache), begins its story with organic fruit. After a simple ferment it goes into seasoned French oak for a short time to allow the wine to breathe and the fruit to sing. The result is a juicy, wild fruit nose that carries on to a medium-weight palate and right through the finish. It’s both floral and mineral and super easy to drink. Whole roasted chicken seems right here.
