Mas Elena is named after Maria Elena, the enologist wife of Joan Cusiné, the eldest son of the family business. The wine has been matured for eight months in two or three year-old American and French casks. This soft Merlot combines the texture and spice of two Cabernets. Empowering each other, they form the perfect balance of roundness and multi-layeredness.

Full-bodied, medium tannins, dark notes of cherry, figlike, cranberry, spicy, mildly stablelike

Producer story

Parés Baltà winery was established back in 1790 and remains a family-owned business to this day. Their wine production is infused with great passion, and the endearing and warm-hearted Cusiné family welcomes all wine enthusiasts to their estate, located just a short distance from Barcelona. The vineyards are situated across five villages, encompassing diverse terrains, valleys, and mountains. This allows for the cultivation of wines in both Mediterranean and continental climates, as well as in their intermediate zones. Some vineyards are nestled within nature reserves, where grapes grow almost magically undisturbed. The vineyards are located on centuries-old terraces, where wild boars, foxes, hares, and eagles are common sights.
