This week, we focus on two new arrivals to our shop from the Spanish winery, Finca Parera, located in the Northeast of Spain in the Penedes region.

Father and son vintners work together on a completely Biodynamic farm that yields all kinds of fruit orchards, grains, olive trees, vineyards and even a pasture of bees.

The wine they produce is distinct. It sits in a space that balances between 'delicious' and 'interesting.' All of their wines are entirely natural, made with minimal intervention and natural yeast fermentation. 

We hope you enjoy these unique selections! Cheers!

Finca Parera Litrona Blanco, $32
Grapes: 100% Xarello Vermell

Tasting Notes: This bottle of Spanish white is destemmed and fermented in cement tanks with the skins for one month before aging for a year then bottling.

The wine has a nice mouth weight. Tastes of tangy green apple and pineapple hit the palate, with aromas of honeycomb and a subtle tannic finish that is well integrated into the pleasant texture of the juice. Fantastic!

This white can be enjoyed on its' own and also stands up to hearty dinner fare. 

Finca Parera Litrona ‘Clos Lentiscus’, $32
Grapes: 100% Sumoll

Tasting Notes: The 'Clos Lentiscus' is made from the indigenous Spanish grape, Sumoll, which tends to be a lighter, tart berry-fruited wine. The winery is using grapes planted in 1939 and uses completely natural wine-making techniques.

It is fermented with natural yeast, unfiltered and sustainably farmed. On the palate, it is tart with raspberry and citrus flower aromas. It finishes with a super crunchy black pepper and forest herb.

Very food-friendly, a fun liter of red!
