Finca Parera Penedès 'Mala Herba' sparkling 2016

$46.00

This is Ruben Parera's stirring Xarel.lo pét-nat, or methode ancestrale. It is a rebuke to those who think that pét-nat isn't serious sparkling, or that only traditional/Champagne method sparkling wine can be elegant or complex. Moreover, this wine has been undisgorged for five years inside of bottle at this point: we are seeing a rare proof of the dignity of age for bubbly wines that aren't filtered, sulfured, or otherwise messed-with. Smells like seafoam, oyster shell, lemon rind, and fresh daytime air. If you like salty iterations of French Chardonnay, and you like them foamy and with bubbles, you'll love this. Bravo Ruben!

Finca Parera

Finca Parera


Finca parera was founded in 1998 and is located in penedes, spain. Family-run by ruben parera, jordi parera, jordi puigmacia and kike vila each member brings their different backgrounds in agricultural engineering, winemaking, and farming to the vineyard.

Parera is truly one of the most revolutionary growers and winemakers we know and helping reshape catalonia that historically is mostly known for industrial cava. We adore his wines and have saved plenty of his khronos sumoll in the cellar and you should do the same.
