Pedro Parra, PhD, Wine Terroir Consultant
Pedro holds a PhD in terroir viticoles from the Paris Center of Agriculture, with six years experience in French terroirs, including Burgundy and Bordeaux. As a highly respected consultant working in several countries and terroirs (Chile, Argentina, USA, Italy, Canada, France and Armenia). Parra brings an open mind and vision to winemakers and viticulturists alike.
His innovative work was included in the prestigious “Decanter Magazine Power List” in 2009, 2011 and 2013. Pedro has been described as a leading figure of the “New Chile” movement by the international press, in part because of his constant endeavor to bring a new vision to the Chilean wine industry, searching for quality terroirs and developing new plantings throughout the country. Pedro is also a winemaker: he coproduces the Chilean cult brands ARISTOS and Clos des Fous, and works alongside Vosne-Romanee producer Louis Michel Liger-Belair. He is also partner with Alberto Antonini in Altos las Hormigas in Mendoza and started his family’s own project, Parra Family, in 2013.
