Wine 2: Pares Balta espignol
Espígol is made with 100% Malvasia de Sitges grown organically and biodynamically in our vineyards in the Penedès. We harvest the grapes by hand and after receiving the grapes at the winery and gentle pressing, the grapes are fermented at 16ºC in stainless steel tanks for 17 days. Our estates benefit from a rich biodiversity thanks to the different cultivation and fertilization methods that we practice. We have our own flock of sheep to fertilize the soil and feed the land. We carefully tend to and employ our own bee hives to take care of the pollination process and help us to reinforce the Mediterranean.
