Parés Baltà Materia Prima Orange Penedès 2022

Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThis new orange from the venerable biodynamic Penedès Pares Balta family uses xarel.lo must and skins (from 40 year old vines), along with 10% skins from gewürztraminer. It was native fermented in stainless, with 1 month of skin maceration, and it remains in stainless until light filtration and bottling. Lifted and edgy with pithy tangerine and pink grapefruit, this cuts a svelte line through river stones, apricot, and peach fuzz, finishing with a limey twist. One to think of with fried bites / calamari.Tasted: 09 April 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
