Xarel-lo | Chardonnay | Pinot Noir
“Parés Baltà’s wines and cavas express the essence of the Mediterranean ecosystem with elegance, concentration and balance.
The original variety, Xarel-lo, is joined in the Blanca Cusiné by two historic sparkling wine grape varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which are grown under the influence of the Penedès high mountains' temperature and soil. To create a delicate and refined sparkling wine, the Pinot Noir was vinified as a Blanc de Noir. The wine's extensive aging has given it a golden yellow hue. It has a deep and subtle aroma with notes of almonds, hazelnuts, honey, and fresh prickly pear on the nose. It's round on the palate, with notes of preserved, ripe fruit that complement those found in the nose.”
