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.

Product notes

Parés Baltà’s Brut cava is a blend of the three traditional varieties of the Penedès: Parellada, Macabeu and Xarel·lo. The parellada, from the highest mountains of the region, provides the freshness, the macabeu gives us the fruit and the xarel·lo gives us the body. The three varieties complement each other creating a perfect synergy of aromas and freshness.

Production notes

Alcoholic fermentation at 16° C in stainless steel tanks for two weeks. Second fermentation in bottle following the traditional method. Ageing in the bottle for a minimum of 18 months.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow color. Medium intensity on the nose with toasty notes combined with aroma of pear and apple. Fresh and alive in the mouth with dominating notes of fruit. Light and soft with a pleasant finish. Serving temperature: 6 - 8° C.

David Lawrason, December 2020

This an organically grown cava from fairly high altitude sites. It is firm, dry and fairly intense in flavour with interesting aromas of rye bread, sunflower or pumpkin seed, green olive and green pear. Something very Mediterranean about the nose. It is mid-weight, solid, firm and even, with very good to excellent length. Tasted December 2020
