Our vineyards<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

All our wines and cavas are made from grapes from vineyards cultivated organically and biodynamically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Par\u00e9s Balt\u00e0 we have 5 estates located in the Pened\u00e8s region, at altitudes ranging from 180 to 800 metres above sea level and from 10 to 50 km from the sea. This disparity of altitudes and proximity to the Mediterranean gives us a great diversity of climates and terroirs that define and characterise the 16 grape varieties we grow, giving our wines and cavas the ability to express the intrinsic qualities of their place of origin.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Les Valls \u2013 Les Torres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From this estate springs the Foix river, the most important river in the Pened\u00e8s. For centuries, the ancient terraces were used for growing red grape varieties until they were wiped out by Phylloxera (wine pest). The terraces have been restored and brought into use again for wine growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Type of soils<\/h4>
\n

In the lower areas the soils are calcareous and well-drained, with pronounced slopes and very stony areas, with very few nutrients. They are very stratified soils. In the upper zone there is a large proportion of clay and chalk.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
