Pares Balta Blanca Cusiné 2013

This CAVA is 81% Xarel·lo, 9% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir cultivated applying biodynamic farming.

In Blanca Cusiné, the traditional variety Xarel·lo is joined with the two historic grape varieties in sparkling wine, Chardonnay and Pinot noir. Everyone under the influence of the climate and the soil in the high mountains of Penedès.

Pinot Noir is vinified like a Blanc de noir in order to offer an elegant and refined sparkling wine.

Pinot Noir has aged over lees during two months with battonage practiced three times per week.
