Pedro Parra

Pedro Parra is the world foremost terroir consultant turned winemaker, a soil scientist obsessed with granite, schist and the ancient bush vines of Chile Itata Valley. His wines have redefined what Chilean red can be, prizing finesse and minerality over power. Working with old, dry-farmed Cinsault and Pais planted on decomposed granite, Parra farms and vinifies with a light touch, whole-bunch ferments and old oak, letting the soil speak. Each single-parcel wine is a study in place. From the joyful, perfumed Imaginador to the profound single-vineyard bottlings named for jazz legends, Monk, Hub, Trane, Miles and Sonny, the range is a masterclass in granitic Cinsault, all detail, tension and grace. Ethereal, mineral and utterly distinctive, Pedro Parra makes some of South America most thrilling and original wines, terroir made liquid.
