Hermos Brut Nature
Pardas, Penedes, Spain
Conceived as a “village wine,” Hermós brings together fruit from different estate parcels to express the shared clay-limestone identity of Celler Pardas’ landscape. Built around Xarel·lo and complemented by Sumoll, a native red variety. The wine reflects Pardas’ commitment to organic farming, indigenous grapes, and a deeply site-driven approach. Produced by the traditional method and released as Brut Nature, Hermós is Pardas’ interpretation of sparkling wine through the lens of their own vineyards and part of the Corpinnat ("Heart of Penedès") philosophy and manifesto.
