In 2013, Pedro Parra, a renowned soil and vineyard mapping expert, partnered with long-time friend and business consultant Alberto Antonini to launch his own namesake label for Chilean wines. Their goal is to create exquisite, unadulterated wines from ancient bush vines in Itata that grow in rich granitic soils. Spanish missionaries first planted vines in Itata more than 500 years ago. Located 500 kilometres south of Santiago, the region benefits from Pacific breezes, moderate temperatures, and cloudy summers. These ideal conditions allow grapes to ripen gradually, resulting in high-quality wines.
'Vinista', is crafted from the little known grape variety País, a grape similar in body to Gamay and Pinot Noir. Vineyards are over 120-year-old vines. It is carefully aged in a combination of concrete and stainless steel, resulting in a unique wine with concentrated flavours of cranberry, wild herbs, and white pepper.
