A natural, 100% xarel·lo wine, organic and made in amphorae of local clay.
Amphora Roja is spontaneously fermented in amphorae specially made from clay from our vineyards, the xarel·lo variety allows us to produce this natural, surprising single-varietal wine that differs from traditional xarel·lo wines.
Pale yellow. Crystal clear and the most transparent Parés Baltà wine.
The nose is round, elegant and with notes reminiscent of white fruit. There is also a subtle banana aroma.
Complex on the palate. Again, reminiscent of fruit and a hint of toasted almond.
Our winemakers, Marta and Maria Elena, sought the utmost authenticity by using clay from the Les Valls – Les Torres estate, where in 2012 we found archaeological remains of an Iberian settlement.
From the clay ovens of this site perhaps amphorae such as those that hold our Amphora Roja would have been made in the past.
