The team at Parés Baltà are intensely devoted to three things: the environment, organic and biodynamic farming, and Xarel.lo. They are tucked into Pacs del Penedes, in the heart of  traditional method sparkling wine, and while they make cavas, their still wines are of particular interest. Their three studies in Xarel.lo are Calcari (very mineral, grown on calcareous soils), Electio (richly barrel-fermented) and Amphora Roja. This is fermented in amphoras of red clay from their own estate, and has no added sulphites. It’s a honeyed, supple wine, with notes of bitter orange, and a clean, fresh, piquant finish.
