PARÈS BALTÀ ROS DE PACS ROSÉ PENÈDES ORGANIC 2025 | 750ML

🇪🇸 Spain — Xarel·lo, Garnatxa | Penèdes, Catalonia

One of the most reliably delicious rosés we carry — year in, year out. A blend of Xarel·lo and Garnatxa, hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards inside a nature reserve park with more than 200 years of viticultural history. Crisp and enticing, with red fruit on both the nose and palate, refreshingly dry and utterly gulpable. The softer, more aromatic side of Penèdes in a glass.

Parès Baltà is one of Catalonia’s most respected organic producers, farming their vineyards with deep respect for the land and the native varieties that define the region. Ros de Pacs is their signature rosé — fresh, light, and built for pleasure.

“One of my favorite rosé wines to drink all year long… Crisp and enticing on the palate with red fruit quality on the nose and palate. Refreshingly dry and gulpable. Give me more of this rosé!”
— Oscar Garcia Moncada, 67 Wine, Lead Wine Sommelier 

Pairs well with: Tapas, grilled vegetables, seafood, soft cheeses, and casual warm-weather sipping.

Parés Baltà has been farming the Penedès since the 18th century, and today it is one of Catalonia’s most respected organic estates. Materia Prima — Spanish for “raw ingredients” — is their love letter to Xarel·lo in its most elemental form: a Pétillant Naturel made by the Méthode Ancestrale, the oldest sparkling wine method in existence. No second fermentation, no disgorgement, no additions. The wine is bottled mid-fermentation, trapping natural CO₂ from the first and only fermentation. The result is a hazy, living, gloriously unfiltered sparkling wine that feels like the vineyard in a glass.

Pale golden and lightly cloudy, the 2024 opens with an expressive bouquet of citrus blossom, quince, white pear, and apricot. The bubbles are gentle and creamy — softer than traditional method sparkling, with a playful fizz that animates without overwhelming. The palate is vivacious and dry, with bright, saline acidity and a long, refreshing finish that calls for another pour. 100% organically farmed Xarel·lo from the Penedès. Vegan. Serve well chilled.

Parés Baltà Brut Nature Cava Organic — Penedès, Spain NV

Parés Baltà is one of Catalónia's most respected organic estates, farming biodynamically in the Penedès with a deep commitment to indigenous varieties and traditional methods. Their Brut Nature Cava is made exclusively from the classic Cava trio — Xarel·lo, Parellada, and Macabeu — with an emphasis on Xarel·lo, the most characterful and site-expressive of the three. Produced via the traditional method with zero dosage, this is a bone-dry, gastronomic sparkling wine of genuine precision and integrity — the kind of Cava that earns its place alongside Champagne at the table.

The wine pours a pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is fresh and inviting — green apple, citrus fruit, and a subtle brioche note from the lees aging. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a crisp, enticing mouthfeel, superb fine bubbles, and a clean, refreshing, bone-dry finish. Excellent as an aperitif, and a natural match for crema catalana — the local cousin of crème brûlée — a pairing that showcases the wine's precision beautifully.

"This might have been a classic Cava, if all Cavas were farmed organically and made with as much care. Instead, it stands out — fresh, lively and dry." — Eric Asimov, The New York Times

Expert Review - Vintage 2021 

James Suckling writes 91 Points |  A well-balanced and flavorful blend of garnatxa and cabernet. Dark cherries, plums and earth aromas mingle on the nose and follow through to a medium body with creamy tannins. Vibrant with a fruity and chocolaty finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.

Winemaker Description 

Rhone meets Bordeaux in Penedes. The Cab here provides the body and power, Grenache for the florality and freshness. A cold maceration and fermentation in stainless before finishing in oak. Rich, velvety, dark berry, vanilla, baking spice, and a touch of licorice lead the way. Very generous fruit, big body, framed nicely in oak without it taking a front seat. This is the big red that will appeal to many.

Producer Description

Within the vineyards located on our Les Valls-Les Torres estate, at an altitude of 600m above sea level and within a Natural Park, grow grapes of the native xarel-lo variety, the flagship variety of the Penedès. With these grapes we make the organic white wine Cosmic. Our freshest and most perfumed xarel-lo thanks to its coupage of the Sauvignon blanc variety, which gives it freshness, creating a perfect balance between the two varieties.

The name of this wine, Cosmic, is a tribute to the biodynamic viticulture that we have been practising in our vineyards since 2012, an agriculture based on a holistic, systemic and pure vision of agriculture in which, among other influences, the moon, stars and planets are taken into account.

Materia Prima Orange Wine Xarel·lo — Penedès, Cataluña 2024

Materia Prima is a project from the Parés Baltà family — one of Penedès' most committed organic and biodynamic estates — dedicated to exploring the full expressive potential of their indigenous varieties through natural, minimal-intervention winemaking. This Orange Wine is produced entirely from biodynamically grown Xarel·lo and Sauvignon Blanc, vinified with extended skin contact in the traditional amber wine style. The result is a wine of genuine complexity and character: pale amber, slightly cloudy, and full of the kind of textural depth that only skin-contact winemaking can produce.

The 2024 pours a pale amber with a slight natural haze. The nose is aromatic and layered — citrus peel, tropical fruit, and compote with a subtle oxidative complexity from the skin contact. On the palate, it's surprisingly approachable — fine structure, pleasant density, and gentle tannins that give it grip without austerity. The finish is long and complex, with a lingering savory-mineral thread that rewards attention. Simple to drink, but full of incredible skill.
