Parés Baltà Ros de Pacs 2022

Profile & Story

Pares Balta is a wholly family-owned estate at Pacs del Penedes whose origins date to 1790; the Cusine family took over in the 1970s and the winery is now run by the third generation, drawing on five properties with vineyards planted between 170 and 750 metres of altitude. The estate is certified organic by CCPAE and farmed biodynamically, and the wines are made by the family's women winemakers with minimal intervention in the cellar. Ros de Pacs sits in the entry-level Origen range and blends red varieties well adapted to the estate's landscapes. Hand harvested; after a gentle pressing the skins macerate briefly to draw the characteristic pale pink, then the varieties ferment separately in stainless steel for an average of 25 days, with fermentation stopped short to keep a minimum level of residual sugar. Suitable for vegans.
