Pardas
In 1996, partners Ramón Parera and Jordi Arnan took on the old Can Comas estate in Torrelavit in Penedès, Spain, when there were no vines on the property at all. They planted native grapes, notably Xarel·lo and Sumoll, and released their first wines in 2004.
Over the years they focused on reviving local varieties and farming organically with minimal tilling and spontaneous vegetation to protect the soils. In the cellar they rely on native yeast ferments, careful whole cluster use in the reds, and aging in large casks, choices meant to keep fruit purity and a clear sense of place.
Today Celler Pardas continues to champion native Catalan grapes and low-input farming from Can Comas, and also makes traditional method sparkling wines as a member of Corpinnat, the Penedès collective for grower-made bottle-fermented sparkling wines.
