Pares Balta Cava Rose PINK Organic NV Brut · Cava, Catalonia, Spain
Family Winery
We are a family winery with a long tradition of winemaking with origins stretching back to 1790, when the first vineyards were established on our estates in the Penedès, situated a short journey of just 30 km from the Mediterranean coast and Barcelona.
Our aim is to care for our vineyards in the best way we know to create organic wines and cava (Spanish sparkling wines) full of expression and the essence of our land. Land that for centuries has been dedicated to the cultivation of the vines.
Organic and Biodynamic Farming
Our passion for nature has always been the primary driving force to grow our vines organically, certified since 2002, and biodynamic since 2012.
Our estates benefit from a rich biodiversity thanks to the different cultivation and fertilization methods that we practice. We have our own flock of sheep to fertilize the soil and feed the land. We carefully tend to and employ our own bee hives to take care of the pollination process and help us to reinforce the Mediterranean.
Women Winemakers
The wives of Joan and Josep Cusiné, third generation of the family, were the winemakers of the family winery for more than 20 years. María Elena and Marta arrived at the family winery around the year 2000 after studying oenology at the University of Tarragona. Their arrival brought about a change in ideas and caused a revolution in the winery by innovating and experimenting with different varieties and winemaking methods. By combining innovation with tradition, they managed to make organic and biodynamic wines and sparkling wines full of character and expressiveness, capable of generating emotions.
Marta Casas, elected Best Winemaker of the Year 2024 by Master of Wine Tim Atkin, currently heads the winemaking department along with her husband Josep and brother-in-law Joan.
Winemaker Description
Pares Balta Cava Pink is smooth, refreshing and very graceful on the palate, packed with ripe, red berry fruit and balanced by a crisp, fresh acidity. Ideal for helping you to enjoy the summer sunshine. Or a rainy Tuesday evening!
Made using the traditional method developed in Champagne, this terrific Parés Baltà Pink Cava is quite stunning, and it is by far the best rosé Cava we've tasted for the price. This modern blend sees the traditional Xarel.lo component of white Cava replaced by 38% Garnatxa, alongside the 32% Parellada and 30% Macabeu.
Tasting Notes
Redcurrant color with a very good sparkling crown of bubbles. On the nose aroma of red fruit with a light floral notes. In the mouth it is appetizing and fresh with hints of redcurrant and raspberry. Long, sweet and pleasant finish. Serving temperature: 8 – 10°.
