Organic wine - profile

• Colour: intense red with blue reflections
• Nose: The fruity aromas have an almost explosive effect on the olfactory organ. Notes from the barrel aging are added, reminiscent of liquorice and spices and dry Mediterranean herbs, increasing the complexity and attractiveness.
• Mouth: The first impression is elegant and fresh. Later it becomes fleshy and structured, with a long aftertaste. In the later phase, notes of red fruits are added, which harmonize very well with the aromas of the oak barrel aging and are perceived in a long aftertaste.
• Recommended serving temperature: 16° to 18° C.

Organic wine - preparation Parés Baltà, Penedès DO, Mas Elena, biodynamic wine, red

The three grape varieties are harvested by hand at the best time of ripeness. In the cellar, they are gently pressed separately and macerated with the berry skins for a week at 5°C. The subsequent fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 25 ° C.

The young wine does not mature for a few months in new barriques, but in barriques that have already been used for aging other wines for 2-3 years. This measure limits the influence of the toasted wood on the biodynamic red wine and emphasizes the fruity aromas.
