Pares Balta Ros de Pacs 2011

Rosewood color. Delicate on the nose with notes of red fruit like raspberry and cherry. In the mouth it is light and fresh. Interesting balance between the acidity level and the light sweetness of the residual sugar. Serve at 45–50 F.

45% Syrah, 41% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. The roots of Pares Balta go back to the 18th century. In 1790 the first vines were planted on the estate that now surrounds the winery. In 1978, Mr Joan Cusine Hill took over the winery. His son Joan Cusine Cusine started to manage Pares Balta in the eighties and released its first still, white wine, "Blanc de Pacs" which is still produced today. At the end of the eighties, the first red wine from the company was produced and since then they have enthusiastically been attempting everything to raise the quality of their wines. Since 2000, the management has been in the hands of the two grandsons, Joan and Josep Cusine Carol. The wives of Joan and Josep, Maria Elena Jimenez and Marta Casas are the winemakers and oenologists. Alongside with emphasis on tradition and quality, the environmentally respectful cultivation of the vines is key to Pares Balta's sense of identity. All their wines are certified as organic and their vineyards as biodynamic (by Demeter).
