Celler Pardas

The can comas estate is situated in the Bitlles river valley in the northern portion of Alt Penedès, a region of Catalonia, north-east of Spain. In total it is comprised of seventy hectares that include thirty-eight hectares of vineyards. It is in this eco-system where vineyards, flora and fauna all interact. We are farmer-harvesters. We balance (take care off) the vines making use of our life's soils and the goodness of our climate, although we always must obey the orders of implacable and changeable dictator: the weather. The pardas cellar, located in the center of the estate, is a stately and impressive building where the grapes, the fruit of our labor, are ultimately transformed to wine.

Another wine cellar and one more drop in the ocean of wine. Who are we, celler pardas? What makes us different? What 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.

When we began the cellar pardas project in 1996, the objective was unequivocal; create the best wines possible at the can comas estate. That driving vision and goal has now become our life project.

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.

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, we do not plow or fertilize the vineyards. We allow plants and flowers to grow amidst each year's new bounty of grapes.

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.

Authentic musicians search for their own sound, on their own instrument. Winegrowers and winemakers call this sound typicity.
