Red dry
A wine that reflects the unique expression of the terrroir of the Lucio Vine. A white sandy vineyard with a profound gravel layer situated in the Pago de Carronda (the freshest zone of the Ribera del Duero). The particularities of that vineyard, one of the oldest of the region, allow to obtain smaller and more concentrated berries because the vines suffer a lot in search of water which they need in order to survive.

On the nose has intense fruity aroma reminiscent of black fruit confiture combined with balsamic notes. On the palate the wine is potent and balanced with great structure and a predominance of the fruity characters. Finishes clean and fresh.

Parés Baltà is a historic, family-owned winery founded in 1790, located in the Pacs del Penedès area, between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Catalonia. It is one of the clearest examples in Spain of how deep-rooted tradition can be consistently combined with progressive, environmentally driven viticulture based on organic and biodynamic principles.
Family heritage and continuity
Today, the winery is led by the third generation of the family – Joan and Josep Cusiné – working closely with their father, Joan Cusiné Cusiné. Here, the family model is not symbolic but a living, everyday practice that ensures long-term vision, stylistic consistency, and continuity across generations.
Organic and biodynamic philosophy as a foundation
Parés Baltà is:
Sheep graze in the vineyards, naturally fertilising the soils, while beehives help maintain biodiversity. The estate functions as a closed ecosystem, where soil, plants, and people interact harmoniously – without synthetic chemicals and with deep respect for the Mediterranean environment.
Terroir diversity and altitude
Parés Baltà’s vineyards range from 170 to 750 metres above sea level, allowing:
This diversity enables the production of wines with a clear sense of origin and natural structural balance.
Creativity-led winemaking
The wines are crafted by Maria Elena Jiménez and Marta Casas – the wives of Joan and Josep. Their partnership has become one of Parés Baltà’s defining characteristics, combining traditional Penedès knowledge with creativity and a modern sensitivity to terroir.
In 2024, Marta Casas was named “Winemaker of the Year” in Tim Atkin MW’s report, an international recognition of the entire team’s work.
