Created from a blend of 30 - 60 year old primarily Xarel-lo, and small amounts of Malvasia de Sitges and Xarel.lo Vermell, the vineyards grow on the estate’s hillsides in Can Comas' limestone soil.
Rupestris evokes the strength of the rock, the purity of the earth, something primitive, rustic, wild, ancient and authentic.
Initial aromas of citrus give way to pear and ripe melon, quince and soft hazelnut. These gorgeous tones are enhanced by the Mediterranean Sea and herbs, including lavender.
In the mouth, it’s full of character: glycerine is ample; so too are the fresh, fruity flavours of pear, apricot and peach. The flinty acidic background provides ample tension and an electric, fresh and slightly bitter aftertaste.

Sus Scrofa is Latin for wild boar, the animal chosen as the symbol of Celler Pardas due to its frequent sightings at the vineyard. This wine is also emblematic of Pardas, as the tortured, abandoned vines were painstakingly restored by Ramon and his team.
Using 100% Sumoll from chalky-clay soil, the wine undergoes maceration and four months of aging in century-old concrete tanks. No oak is used.
Light to medium purple in colour, with aromas of red and black berries, this is an easy and supremely tasty wine. Distinctive Sumoll tannins are balanced with fleshy, bright fruit.
As with all Pardas wines, Mediterranean herbs and refreshing salinity are highly evident on the palate.

Cabernet Franc (65%), Cabernet Sauvignon (24%) and Sumoll (10%) varietals come from the vineyards that best reflect the terroir of the property.
Free of herbicides, pesticides or other chemicals, the hand-picked grapes are subjected to a variety of vinification techniques to bring out their singular qualities, as does the 12 months of aging in French oak.
The result is a gorgeous reflection of the best of Penedès.
Rich ruby in colour, the wine has abundant, fine legs. The nose is serious and intensely fragrance, showing a balsamic background, with aromas of black pepper, fresh plums and hints of candied oranges and pencil lead. In the mouth, the wine seduces and expands, providing plenty of fleshy, black fruit. The persistent tannins give way to a long, elegant finish.

Championing the historical roots of the Penedès D.O., Ramon has reintroduced the much-maligned Sumoll grape, transforming it into the only Rosé of its kind.
The grapes of the south-facing, 40 year old vines, grown organically in clay-calcareous soils, are placed in 100-year-old concrete tanks where they undergo maceration for 28 hours to extract colour.
The fresh and intense nose imparts notes of the Mediterranean sea, red apple peel, fresh, wild berries, pomegranate and figs. In the mouth, the fruit is enhanced by Sumoll’s background of anise and bright acidity.
The finish is fresh, long, dry and slightly bitter, cleansing the palate with a playful acidity.

The 2009 Xarel-lo provides an ideal opportunity to experience this delicious wine with additional aging.
The Pardas terroir is in full evidence.
Complex, the nose is serious with petrol and citrus aromas followed by a welldefined, mineral palate. Lush and herbaceous, the Mediterranean is in full view. And the long finish reinforces this wine's potential to continue to evolve with time.
