About Pardas Negre Franc

Pardas Negre Franc is an organic barrel-aged red wine crafted by Celler Pardas from the cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon varieties in the DO Penedès region.

Celler Pardas is a venture that began in 1996, initiated by two local viticulturists with an unparalleled understanding of the Bitlles Valley (Alt Penedès) wine-growing region. On a 60-hectare estate, Ramón Parera and Jordi Arnan implement a wholly organic and low-intervention philosophy. As a result, they produce distinctive wines with a pronounced character and a clear expression of each vintage.

In the vineyard, Pardas is committed to austere practices, avoiding ploughing and fertilisers. Instead, they utilise spontaneous cover crops that help retain soil moisture throughout the year. Their approach is based on organic farming, eschewing the use of herbicides, insecticides, or synthetic products. Once the Pardas Negre Franc grapes reach optimal ripeness, they are hand-selected and transported in 20 kg boxes.

In the winery, a similarly low-intervention enology is practised, with utmost respect for the raw material. Once the grapes are destemmed, they are gravity-fed into century-old concrete vats to ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Afterwards, Pardas Negre Franc ages for several months in French oak barrels of 225 and 300 litres. Finally, it is cellared in bottles for an additional year before being released to the market.

With a wild boar's footprint as its corporate identity, Pardas Negre Franc is a bold statement of intent. A red wine that emphasises the terroir of its origin and the indigenous varieties native to the Penedès region.

2014 Pardas Negre Franc 2014 is an organic, concentrated red wine with aromas of fresh plum, a balsamic background and hints of cocoa and black pepper. On the palate it is pleasant, elegant and very seductive. It reveals black fruits, mineral notes and a very long, fine finish.
2010 Tender, elegant and seductive entry onto the palate which grows and expands giving way to a sustained, full and fleshy explosion of black fruits which, along with a persistent charge of tannin, fills the mouth en masse.
A long, fine and elegant finish with appropriate acidity that plays on all the sensations in the mouth.

Pretty black cherry colour, medium density, slightly murky, with abundant fine tears shown on the glass.

Intense, very fragrant and direct. A strong balsamic presence. Hints of cocoa and black pepper, fresh plum and roasted peppers. Notes of candied orange peel.
