Pares Balta Calcari is a white wine from Penedès produced by the Pares Balta winery. It is a varietal Xarelo.
The grapes come from the Finca Pares Balta, which is situated at 254 metres in altitude and the soils are calcareous and clay-loam.
The vineyards are biodynamic and have the Demeter certification, cultivation is done organically under the seal of the Catalan Council of Ecological Agricultural Production (CCPA). In fact, the fertilizer is obtained from a flock of sheep owned by the estate and pollination occurs with the bees from the winery’s hives.
Once the grain is harvested and selected, a maceration that lasts about four hours occurs. Subsequently, the grapes are pressed and fermented at 16 ° for a period of three weeks. Pares Balta Calcari finally is aged for four months in stainless steel tanks. This is done using their method and daily movement.
