Pedro Parra y Familia winery is a prestigious, family-run estate located in the heart of Chile's sought-after Itata Valley, founded by respected soil and vine expert, Dr. Pedro Parra. This thrilling winery is nestled amidst lush vineyards and rolling hills, offering a delightful marriage of traditional winemaking methods with innovative techniques.
The proprietor, Pedro Parra, holds a doctorate in terroir from the Institut Agricole in Paris. Following years spent working with some of the world’s top wineries, Parra chose to focus his expertise and passion on his family’s vineyard. His deep-rooted connection to the land is evident in his wines that express the soil and climate of Itata Valley with authenticity and purity.
Dating back to the mid-16th century, the region's steep, old-vine vineyards yield small, concentrated fruit that is hand harvested. Pedro Parra y Familia puts a strong emphasis on terroir, producing wines with distinctive character and complexity from 200-year-old Pais, Cinsault and Carignan vines. These vines are dry farmed and sustainably managed, keeping in tune with the winery's commitment to environmental conservation.
A major distinguishing feature of these wines is their strikingly fresh acidity, which delicately balances their full-bodied, almost-earthy undertones. This, combined with the celebration of native grape varieties, gives rise to an exciting range of wines that appease both local consumers and discerning connoisseurs worldwide.
Pedro Parra y Familia consistently deliver exquisite wines that are an echo of Chile’s vast cultural and geological history. Exemplary of the winery's character is the 'Imaginador' – a lively, mineral-driven Cinsault that captures the wild spirit of Itata Valley with each sip.
Indeed, the quality, tradition and passion embodied by Pedro Parra y Familia shines through impeccably in each bottle image their remarkable wines. Visit Pedro Parra y Familia winery for an immersive experience into the vibrant world of Chilean wine.
