CELLER PARDAS

Another wine cellar and one more drop in the ocean of wine. Who are we, celler pardas? What makes us differentWhat motivates us to do our work? We are inspired by The same passion that has repeated itself throughout history a thousand and one times. The passion that is behind the

creation and production of all great wines, those that are unique and that move us. Those that find their meaning and definition within their regional history, cultivated land, accompanying climate and labor.

How do we achieve our goals? our philosophy resides in allowing our vineyards to resemble and imitate nature. We treat the vineyards we cultivate and care for, as an extension of their larger environment and neighboring woods. We allow our vineyards to express themselves freely and according to the parameters and limitations placed on them by the land and climate. We only intervene in this process to direct and add minute but decisive touches. In keeping with our philosophy, our vinyeards are not fertilized allowing the vintages to express themselves. We work the vineyards as little as possible, without ploughing the land, to avoid erosion and encouraging the earth´s life with vegetal Covers.

WINE CONCEPT

 

 

At cellar pardas, we are viticulturists and enologists, winegrowers and winemakers. We are involved in all steps of production: working and cultivating the land to bottling and packaging the final product. It is because of this closeness and our relationship to all of the process, that we can commit to our final objective of creating quality wines. Wines that above all, characterize us and are a reflection of our corner of the world.

 

We identify closely with the wild boar, our emblem, which symbolizes belonging to a place and identifying with its tradition. We also strive to promote our own roots as viticulturists and enologists in our work and creation. Regional grapes are combined with foreign varieties with the objective of capturing the essence of our estate and sealing it in a bottle.

absolutely, the unique possible way to get different wines is to relieve and re-discover different possibilities that our soils and micro-climates give us.Singular and untransferable place makes the wine.The challenge is knowing to play nature.The place is on at variety, the place is on at winegrower.

XAREL.LO ASPRIU 2010

XAREL.LO PARDAS 2009

• Xarel.lo is our most noble variety. No other grape exists that allows us to squeeze the essence out of our land . With a true conviction that the xarel.lo variety has all the potential to become a great ageing wine (full ripeness, good acidity, total climate adaptation…) and the belief that the future will bring with it a worldwide apreciation of local varieties, our xarel.lo has been born.

• A different and authentic wine which is the reflection of our soils and just viticulture.

• 90 points Parker• 88 points Peñin• Total production : 8845 bottles

NEGRE FRANC 2009

• Negre Franc is our trademark wine. It is comprised of a mixture of different varieties of grapes (Cab.franc, Cab.sauvignon and Sumoll) from different vineyards from our estate .

• Frankness, honesty, respect are adjectives that adhere to this concept and to our will in our work. We believe it also captures the essence of wine-making: capture the magic of a place, climate, land, vine technique and secure it in a bottle.

• 90 points Parker• 91 points Peñin• Total production : 20350 bottles

RUPESTRIS 2011

• Rupestris evokes images and flavours that remind us of the strength of stone, the purity of the earth and everything primitive, rustic, wild, ancestral and authentic.

• Rupestris is a grass-roots wine from Celler Pardas that has been elaborated with only one criterion, quality.

• With a coupage of Xarel.lo, Malvasia de Sitges, Macabeu, Xarel.lo Vermell as well as a brief maturation in a chestnut barrel, we have created a simple but true equilibrium with finesse and a true reflection ad expression of our vineyards .

• Total production: 9696 bottles• 88 points Peñín

SUMOLL ROSE 2011

• In a world of wine that is with each passing day more globalised, Sumoll is a rarity.

• As a result of our concern and respect for our viticultural past and the eagerness to make distinguished wine, Pardas offers the first and the only 100% rosé wine produced with the native variety sumoll, a grape lately ignored by who think that it´s vulgar and sharp, it has fallen into decline and it is going to disappear; this grape can only express its potential with austere viticulture, of quality, a low yield and a very careful and respectful enology.

• Total production : 7572 bottles

COLLITA ROJA 2009

Sumoll grapes are like farmers.At youth are crude and productive but when time goes by they take root deeply. On the verge of death when they are decrepit, full of wounds on body and soul is when they can give us wisdom. At around seventy years old, they have been dying due to drought and hailstorms, diseases and pain. And the piece that remains alive (twisted and brittle)suffers to join the life. We have an heritage to enjoy and meanwhile to take care with respect. In terms of Torrelavit, Sant Llorenç d'Hortons, Piera and Llacuna, north of Penedès region ,from five or six half old vineyards we offer Collita Roja.These old vineyards , full of life, were planted by our grandfathers , with the help of animals, and we continue to cultivate walking.When Josep Pla( one of ours distinguished catalan writer) states that "a farmer is a farmer and nothing more than a farmer." Paraphrasing him , we affirm that it is a sumoll and nothing more than a sumoll: unique and inimitable. Total production : 2600 bottles
