Bodega Parra Jimenez

Crisp, dry and bracing with a fine citrus flavour.

Producer Information

It may seem hard to believe, but in 1993, when the brothers, Francisco, Javier and Luis Parra founded Parra Family Organic, the idea of Organic certification was a new one. But the brothers decided it was a natural thing for them to pursue, given their long history of sustainable farming.

The brothers are intimately involved in the workings of the cellar and the vineyard. Made in Central Spain by a family with a deep history in viticulture, their wines are easy to drink yet filled with complex flavours. In a variety of styles, their vineyard is the largest NOP-certified Organic vineyard in Europe.

Wine Making

Made with organic Verdejo grapes that are fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. It may seem hard to believe, but in 1993, when the brothers, Francisco, Javier and Luis Parra founded Parra Family Organic, the idea of Organic certification was a new one. But the brothers decided it was a natural thing for them to pursue, given their long history of sustainable farming.

Organic farming technique involves: composting, use of fermented manure, slurry, macerated plants, green fertilizers, crop rotations and associations, hedgerows, spaces for the life of the native flora and fauna in the areas of integrated production, soil cover, crop-livestock mixed systems.

Tasting Note

Burnished gold with green highlights in the glass. It has a nose of preserved lemon and lime flesh and white peach over a strong slatey minerality. On the palate the wine is crisp, dry and bracing with fine citrus flavour and an intriguing minerality that makes you want to sip it again and again.

Food Matching

Perfect with shellfish, grilled fish and roast chicken.
