Along with Imaginador from the Cinsault variety, Vinista is the second of Pedro Parra's village wines (following Burgundy standards), which means that the fruit comes from different vineyards.

It is perhaps one of the most ideal dessert wines. Airy and light, it can be paired with a wide variety of fruits such as strawberries and even...
