La Vendimia, Ep, 5: Celler Pardas

Catalonia's Terroir-Focused Wine Trailblazers Go behind the scenes of the annual harvest at Celler Pardas, a pioneering organic and biodynamic estate in Catalonia focused on indigenous grapes. Founded in 1996 by Ramón Parera and Jordi Arnan, Celler Pardas rescued a run-down medieval farm and surrounding lands, restoring the vineyards and cellar. Through sustainable practices like dry-farming and avoiding plowing, Celler Pardas cultivates a holistic agrarian ecosystem in the Penedès region. Watch as they hand-pick Sumoll, Xarel·lo, and Malvasía Sitges grapes, expressing the unique terroir of limestone-clay soils and salty Mediterranean influences. Get an insider look at how Celler Pardas strives to work in partnership with nature. From the vineyards to the winemaking, they respectfully let the local land and grapes shine through in delicious and expressive wines. Discover why Ramón and Jordi have become icons of Catalonia's low-intervention natural wine movement.
