2025 Friend & Farmer Red

Bodegas Parra Jiménez, located in the high-desert plateaus of La Mancha, is a pioneer in organic and biodynamic viticulture established by the Parra family in 1993. Since exporting their first certified organic wines in 1996, the family expanded the Cuesta Colorá estate into a self-sustaining ecosystem that now holds Sohiscert organic and Demeter biodynamic certifications for wine, garlic, and Manchego cheese. Winemaking is currently led by Pablo Parra, who joined in 2017 after studying at the University of Ribera del Duero and mentoring under Juan Antonio Ponce. Pablo has modernized the estate’s portfolio with innovative natural wine styles—including orange wines, pet-nats, and amphorae-aged selections—while maintaining the family's commitment to concentrated, well-structured expressions of their unique terroir. This easy-drinking red would be happy with a slight chill, and isn't the least bit fussy about pairing.
