Description
In the highest and rockiest areas of the Conca de Barberà, where vines grow more out of stubbornness than comfort, Succés Vinícola continues to defy convention. Mariona Vendrell and Albert Canela, the driving forces behind this young but deeply rooted project, have turned the improbable into the obvious: that Parellada, a grape historically relegated to bulk and Cava, can shine with its own light when given space, altitude and respect.
Succés Vinícola El Pedregal is born precisely from a single plot of old Parellada, planted at an altitude of over 700 metres above sea level, where the soils are a mosaic of limestone, gravel and pebbles. Here, the soil is poor, the climate extreme, and the Mediterranean breeze arrives with a coolness that caresses the leaves and moderates the rigour of the sun. Ripening is slow, almost stoic, which allows the grapes to retain a precise, almost surgical acidity and a natural tension that can be felt from the first sip. This wine is not a tribute to tradition, but a courageous reinvention of what a Conca white made from Parellada can be.
Winemaking
Harvesting is carried out by hand, with rigorous selections in the vineyard. The Parellada grapes, harvested at just the right point of ripeness - neither before nor after - are gently pressed whole cluster, preserving their fragile, crystalline character. The must ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, without aggressive temperature control, allowing the environment and the vintage to dictate its rhythm.
After fermentation, the wine remains on its fine lees for about 5 months, without excessive battonage, seeking texture without losing verticality. There is no oak ageing, no fining or filtration, only a minimal dose of sulphur dioxide at bottling. The whole process is aimed at one thing: preserving the purity of the Parellada and letting the landscape speak.
Taste
Succés Vinícola El Pedregal is pure liquid rock. The nose is restrained, almost silent at first: notes of wet chalk, green lemon, grapefruit zest and a whisper of fresh fennel. Nothing is obvious, nothing shouts. Gradually, with air, it opens up: dried white flower, green apple, an almost chalky note reminiscent of quarry dust in summer.
The palate is sharp, straight, like a line drawn with a drawing pen. The entry is dry, precise, with an acidity that does not seek to impress, but to cleanse and sculpt. The centre of the mouth has nerve and volume thanks to the lees, but never falls into blandness. It is a white-veined wine, with a long, saline finish that leaves an impression of wet stone and citrus peel on the lips. It is a mountain white, for those who enjoy tension over opulence, verticality over fat.
