Finca Parera Fins Als Kullons

Garnacha Blanc / Xarel-lo / Sumoll

Penedès, Spain

Ruben Parera was born into a family of farmers. He is currently in the fourth generation of farmers (since 1892) and heads his family's small winery Finca Parera (production is less than 1,500 cases annually). The family's vines are planted alongside their certified organic cherry orchards – the first to become so in Penedès. It wasn't until Ruben finished his viticulture and oenology studies that they started making wines under their label. Ruben converted his family's 10-hectare estate from organic to biodynamic (2013). In addition to grapes and cherries, the family also farms almonds and olives. They have a vegetable garden as well as a bee hive for personal honey. Everything on their land is farmed according to biodynamic principles. Ruben has continued the natural process into the cellar.
