WINE MAKING PROCESS
Parés Baltà Brut is produced using the traditional method, involving a first fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 16°C, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. The grapes, Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada, are manually harvested. The wine then undergoes a minimum of 12 months of aging in the bottle on its lees. The winery employs organic and biodynamic farming practices across its estates in the Penedès region.
