AboutPedro Parra y Familia
Pedro and Camila Parra founded their family winery in 2011, after Pedro had spent years advising winegrowers around the world on their vineyard sites. They chose Chile’s Itata region for its cool coastal climate, decomposed granite and basalt, and old bush-trained vines growing on their own roots without irrigation.
The vineyards are farmed organically without certification, using horses for weed control, no herbicides and only small amounts of sulphur. In the cellar, concrete vessels, open tanks and large wooden casks are used alongside whole-bunch fermentation and minimal sulphur additions for selected wines.

Chilean Red
Rose hip, iris, wild strawberry, pomegranate, cherry and raspberry appear with bay leaf, leather, smoke and earth. Natural acidity, fine tannins and a saline mineral texture are also present. The wine is made entirely from País grown on dry-farmed, century-old vines rooted in basalt and granite. Half the fruit was fermented as whole bunches in concrete with native yeast.

Chilean Red
Grapes from forty-five- to one-hundred-and-twenty-year-old vines include Cinsault, Carignan, Malbec, Syrah, Carmenere and Pais, drawn from Southern Chile's Itata and Maule regions at two hundred fifty to three hundred fifty metres. Red granite, sandy and quartz soils underpin the sites. Each component is fermented with native yeast in stainless steel and cement before blending. Pitch, black raspberry, thorns and earthy character meet tight minerality, with cassis grip on the finish.
