This Chilean orange is made from single vineyard, old-vine sauvignon blanc that has been wild fermented and left on the skins for 60 days and bottled unfiltered with no sulfur added. On the palate, you’ll detect smoky stone fruit and citrus with savory wild herbs and a nice grip

AREA / REGIÓN Galicia in the Northern-western corner of Spain, bordering the Atlantic coastline.

Known as “Green Spain”, its’ lush vegetation comes from a higher amount of rainfall and humidity compared to most other Spanish regions.

ALTITUDE 150 - 335 m above the sea level

SOILS Decomposed granite (locally known as Sábrego) and schist. Granite tends to have a high pH level and rather porous make-up, which creates high-acid fruit and allows vines to dig deep into the earth.

GRAPE VARIETIES

65% Mencía, 10% Garnacha Tintorera and the remaining 25% is made of Brancellao, Sousón and Caíño. Castes Tintas means red grapes in Gallego language.

Brancellao is oily and savoury, Souson brings acidity, while Caiño Longo provides a kick of fragrant aromatic notes.

VINEYARDS

Biodynamic and Organic trained vineyards(with nocertifications)averaging from 13 to 20 years of age,

located along the valley of the Avia river near

Ribadavia and Cenlle

VINIFICATION

Spontaneous fermentation in old chestnut casks and one week long maceration. 40% of the wine is whole cluster. Aged in stainless steel tank. The malolactic fermentations occurs naturally. Unfined (therefore suitable for vegans) and unfiltered. No cellar manipulation and a minimum quantity of sulfites are added just before the bottling. Abv: 11%.

WINE DESCRIPTION Mineral aromas and crunchy red fruit lead to forest floor earthy sensations.

The mouth feel is delicate, fresh, round and pretty lingering. The acidity is right on spot.

FOOD PAIRING Rice with duck, lasagna, grilled chicken and vegetables.

APPELLATION Conca de Barberà (the DO goes back to 1985). Most of the vineyards are located around the historic town of Montblanc, and the appellation covers a total of 14 municipalities in the north of the province

of Tarragona. The vineyards are planted in the valleys of the rivers Francolí and Anguera and are surrounded and protected by several mountain ranges. Today, the Conca de Barberà DO mainly produces red wines, along with whites, and minor amounts of rosés and sparkling wines.

WINE REGION Tarragona – Catalunya

ALTITUDE 370 - 420 mt above the seal level

SOILS

Alluvial flooring, clay and limestone with pebbles and slate (no chemicals sprayed). All the estate vineyards are located on the slopes of the Prades Mountains.

VARIETAL

70% Trepat, 15% Garnacha, 15% Syrah.

A finicky vaietal, Trepat is indigenous in the northeast wine

regions of Penedés, Conca de Barberá and Costers del Segre.

It prefers alluvial or sandy over calcareous soils and benefits

from maritime-influenced mesoclimates. Trepat buds early and

is resistant to most fungal diseases.

YIELDS PER HECTARE

5000 kg. Trepat, 5000 kg. Grenache, 4000 kg. Syrah.

TRAINING SYSTEM

Gobelet (free-standing), south-east terraced vineyards.

HARVEST

Manual. The grapes come from three estate vineyards located

in Montblanc.

VINIFICATION The three varieties are processed separately from the beginning (therefore this is not a field blend). Hand-harvested grapes, cold pre-fermentation and softly pressed. The must spontaneously ferments

(indigenous yeast only) with the skins in stainless steel vats. No external yeast.

The malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. The wine ages in used French oak barrels (225 and 300 liters)

for roughly 3 months and then is bottled. Unfined and unfiltered. No cellar’s manipulation. Min. added sulfites

added at the racking and before the bottling.

WINE DESCRIPTION Translucent cherry at sight. Elegant aroma of wild red fruit and spices. Delicate

mouthfeel, displaying a round yet fresh fruit. Lingering finish with a nice kick of acidity. 12,5% AbV

FOOD PAIRING Great with rice, pasta, vegetables, cheeses and white and red meats.

Insolia is one of the oldest indigenous varietals cultivated in Sicily, displaying

great freshness, endowed with flavor and elegance.

Vineyard: The variety comes from a small vineyard (2 hectares only) at 250

m of altitude and marked by stoney clay and limestone. The vineyard is

located in Contrada Pozzillo, near Marsala. The vines average 20 years of

age and are managed according to environmentally friendly agriculture

practices, skipping any use of pesticides and herbicides. Guyot system.

TASTING NOTES

Color | vibrant, straw yellow.

Aroma | elegant and complex with citrus and green pear wrapped a core of

mineral and floral notes. The combination is an intriguing and charming

bouquet.

Taste | fresh and rich without being cloying and retaining enough acidity.

The strong mineral entry, almost salty, evolved into a powerful, long and well

balanced finish. It’s a liquid postcard from west Sicily displaying the

Mediterranean influence at its best. Overall it’s an intense mid weight wine,

capable to age at least 4 years from the harvest.

FOOD PAIRING | Grilled swordfish, couscous with tuna and cherry

tomatoes, clam pasta, grilled vegetables and white meats with sweet spices.

Officially this is a declassified wine coming from Sierra de Gredos (Ávila). Vineyards in Gredos are just amazing and share few common features: high altitude, steep hills, decomposed granite soils topped by sand. Biodiversity here rules with orchards and pine forests. Some of them are trained as low density bush vines (en vaso in Spanish). At roughly 850 meters’ altitude, the continental climate is fierce here with crazily cold windy winters and hot dry summers. Gredos is the new Eldorado for the new wave of Spanish producers seeking terroir driven wines.

WINE REGION Sierra de Gredos, Castilla-León

ALTITUDE 850 mt above the seal level

SOILS Clay, sand and granitic (no chemicals sprayed). Two vineyards from Sotillo de la Adrada (Tietar Valley). Sulfur and other preparations are used according the vintage’s growing season.

VARIETAL 100% Jaen. This is an obscure grape variety cultivated in few corners in Castilla y Leon. Guess what …it’s almost impossible to find wines with this grape in the US.

WINE DESCRIPTION Nose of hay and yellow fruits and flowers. Nice peach and apricot flavors with an intense streak of stone minerality and salinity powering through it.

SERVICE TEMPERATURE 10-12 °C

FOOD PAIRING Great with salads, white pasta, seafood, delicate fish, grilled chicken and fresh cheeses

A deliciously mineral 'No Sulphites' Chardonnay, lightly oaked and with bags of character and personality.

The small wine producing Jura region of eastern France sits between Burgundy and the Swiss border and lately it's been enjoying a well deserved period of prominence with Chardonnay proving to be one of its most successful grape varieties. Indeed, while quite modestly priced this wine bears favourable comparison with many more highly priced Burgundies. They use fruit from 50 year old vines which is fermented and aged in new oak foudres without filtering, racking, or the addition of sulphites. Essentially it's just left to mature in its own time with nature doing the rest. The outcome is wonderfully fresh, precise and tidy and is a great example of a wine where the fruit, minerality and subtle oak all sit in a satisfying harmony.

It makes a perfect aperitif, and for food pairing it's made to go with stuff fresh from the sea - a generous basket of fruits de mer being just the thing.

Beautiful, light, and savory Pinot Noir. The bouquet presents dried rose petals while the palate displays soft, lively notes of cherry, raspberry, and earth. An impressive wine from a region where it’s increasingly hard to find good value.

2021

An organic red wine made from Grenache fresh and tasty

In our Les Torres estate, at the top of the Penedès, is the vineyard with the freshest and sweetest Grenache, the protagonist of our single varietal. It is a native Grenache from the Penedès, the Grenache of our ancestors.

Its resistance to extreme temperatures and its easy adaptation to poor soils make it a perfect variety for making quality wines in our Mediterranean climate. Versatility is another of Garnacha’s strengths, which is why we at Parés Baltà are fans of it.
