Profile & Story
Pares Balta is a family-owned, biodynamic-certified winery in the Penedes region of Catalonia. Grosella is built entirely from Sumoll, a grape native to the Penedes, using a large-berry (gra gros) clone grown biodynamically on the estate. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel with a brief, gentle skin contact at around 23 degrees Celsius, a traditional approach meant to capture the fruit's natural color and freshness with minimal winery intervention. The wine is certified organic by CCPAE and made without any animal-derived products.
Tasting Notes
Grosella shows a bright red-currant color with a light, translucent layer. The nose is full of forest-fruit aromas, intense and inviting. On the palate it is refreshing and perfumed, light-bodied with well-balanced acidity, showing red cherry and raspberry alongside rooibos, fresh peppercorn, light herbal thyme notes, and a mineral, talc-like finish.
Pairing Recommendation
Best served chilled, between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius; pairs well with pizza, pasta, and salads.
