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

The grapes are harvested by hand and are gently pressed at the winery then fermented at 20ºC in stainless steel tanks for 2 weeks with 3 daily remuages. Indigena Red is aged in new and second year French oak barrels for only 2 months to maintain its bright and fruity characteristics.

Tasting notes

Aromas of wild red fruit accompanied by subtle toasted notes. Bursting with similar flavours, this wine is very elegant and smooth. This is an organic wine made from biodynamically grown grapes.

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.
