An outstanding red wine from Penedès produced by Pares Balta, a family business founded in 1790. The third generation of this family are currently running the winery, Joan and Josep Cusiné, with the help of Josep´s father, Joan Cusiné Cusiné. This wine is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from Finca Hisenda Miret at an altitude of 400 meters, and Finca la Torreta, located at 315 meters above sea level. The vineyards are cultivated by organic farming methods. Aflock of sheep is responsible for fertilising the land of the vineyards and a local honeycomb aims to support the pollination of the grape flowers. After the harvest, the grapes are removed from their vats to carry out a cold maceration at a temperature of 8 ° C for 5 days. Subsequently, the fermentation of the two varieties is performed separately at a controlled temperature of 25 ° C for 4 weeks. Finally, Mas Irene spends a minimum of 13 months in French Allier oak barrels and then a minimum of 12 months in the bottle.
