Pardas

Penedès native grapes. Xarel-lo, Sumoll, Malvasia. Catalan terroir.

Pardas works in Penedès, the historic wine region southwest of Barcelona where Mediterranean influences shape distinctive white and red varieties. The winery focuses on indigenous grapes that define Catalan viticulture: Xarel-lo, Sumoll, and Malvasia. Its Xarel-lo—a crisp, mineral-driven white central to the region—has drawn attention from Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. The Collita Roja, built from Sumoll, and Blau Cru, made from Malvasia, round out a portfolio rooted in Penedès' native character. These wines reflect the region's cool nights and limestone soils, which encourage freshness and complexity in both white and darker-skinned varieties. Pardas' commitment to local grapes positions it within Penedès' broader effort to reclaim recognition for its own terroir rather than imported varietals.
