Amphora Roja is a complex, spontaneously fermented natural wine, fermented and aged in amphorae specially made from clay from the vineyards the xarel·lo grapes are grown in. “Bruised golden apple, very honeyed, nearly petrol-like notes; cured lime peel, a great deal of forest floor, earthiness, and white-mushroom notes. Fresh and very lively on the palate, this is a unique wine with a long life ahead of it.” The World of Fine Wine
Producer Profile Parés Baltà
A family owned winery with traditions dating back to 1790, Parés Baltà owns five estates in the Penedès mountains. The variety of the soils and elevation create unique microclimates that give a special personality to their wines. Organic viticulture is at the heart of the operation, Parés Baltà uses its own flock of sheep to fertilise the vineyard and bees for pollination during the flowering season. Today, the estate’s management is led by brothers Joan and Josep Cusiné, and the winemaking is in the hands of their skilled oenologist wives, Elena Jimenez and Marta Casas. Parés Baltà’s wines and cavas express the essence of the Mediterranean ecosystem with elegance, concentration and balance.
