Organic wine - preparation Parés Baltà, Penedès DO, INDIGENA, biodynamic wine, red

The Garnacha grapes with very small percentages of other varieties are harvested by hand and pressed with gravity. The fermentation of the mash at 20°C takes 2 weeks. During this process, the mash is pumped around daily so that the berry skins floating on the liquid are always wet and the colors and flavors contained in them can be extracted. After that, this biodynamic wine matures for a short time in French oak barrels that have already been used 1-2 times for other wines. The aim is to preserve characteristic fruity notes and give it only delicate and attractive nuances of oak barrel aging.
