Production Methods

Biodynamic

Wine made from grapes grown organically using natural composting techniques and special preparations of herbal sprays while following the astronomical calendar.

Staff Pick Notes

The Parés Baltà winery was founded in 1790 in Pacs del Penedès and has been owned by the Cusiné family since 1978. The grandsons of the patriarch, Joan and Josep, married Maria Elena and Marta, chemical engineer and pharmacist respectively, who were in the midst of their first harvest when they decided to pursue oenology studies to better relate to the family business. In a fairytale ending, they both fell in love with viticulture and became the head winemakers. The beautiful irony is that Parés Baltà is completely organic and biodynamic, meaning the sisters-in-law had to unlearn much of their scientific training, forgoing the use of chemicals. Their Indigena is 100% native Garnacha from the Penedès. Full of juicy wild berries, dark florals, spice, and herbal undertones, this was a perfect partner with Israeli-style falafel.

The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...
