A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, with the first of the three varieties dominating. The base wines ferment in ancient oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation, and are then sealed with cork in bottles for the second fermentation. They will remain in contact with the lees for many years. Completely dry, with excellent, fine...
85% Malbec and 15% Merlot to bring down the youthful "rigor" of the blend from organically cultivated vineyards on gravel and limestone soils with clay. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks at relatively high temperatures with very careful cap breaking, and each individual vineyard plot after being vinified separately will be blended in the...
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. And even though Pedro was a super-fan of the Cinsault variety for many years, Pais gradually managed to attract his interest much more. It is perhaps this...

So he categorizes his wines hierarchically as village, premier cru, and grand cru. Imaginador is one of the two village wines he produces. (The other is Vinista). His inspiration for these wines was Italy and a simple Langhe he...

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...
Vines of rare beauty, in many cases steep and inaccessible, which have preserved in their “innards” local Cretan varieties that deserve to stand on a global level. Southern Rethymno has unique vineyards at altitude, with pre-harvest roots that are over 100 years old and complex plantings of varieties such as Vidiano, Plyto, Thrapsathiri, Melissaki and...
Vineyards with newer plantings and old ones, whose age exceeds 140 years and managed to survive the great fire of 2022 in Melamps and gave this wine a very small production. A truly unicorn wine, produced by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks and with low sulphites. A terribly difficult year after the fire, but the result shows the dynamism...
