Garnatxa Parés Baltà Indigena Garnatxa 2022 is a juicy, easy-drinking red that shows a fresher, more lifted side of Garnatxa. Grown organically in the hills of Penedès, the warm 2022 vintage gives plenty of ripe red berry fruit, but there’s still enough freshness to keep things balanced and lively.
Expect aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and a touch of Mediterranean herbs, with soft tannins and a gentle spice running through the palate. It’s smooth, bright and unfussy in the best possible way - the sort of red that works just as well lightly chilled as it does at the dinner table. Great with charcuterie, grilled lamb skewers or smoky aubergine dishes.

Vintage report
The 2022 growing season across Penedès was defined by heat and drought — the same story playing out across much of Spain and southern Europe that year. An exceptionally dry spring set the tone, and summer brought punishing temperatures that pushed vines into water stress. The region's higher-altitude vineyards, particularly those climbing towards the Penedès Superior, fared better than the plains, with cooler nights preserving freshness where it might otherwise have been baked away. Yields were down, sometimes significantly, but the dry conditions kept disease pressure low and concentration high.
The result is a vintage of ripe, generous wines with real structure behind the fruit. Xarel·lo performed well, holding its characteristic bite even in the heat, and still wines from Macabeu and Garnatxa show the vintage's sunny disposition without being flabby. Reds have grip and warmth. These are wines that reward drinking now or over the next three to four years, though the better-made reds from serious producers will carry comfortably until 2027 or beyond.
