Description
In Conca de Barberà, a land of history, morning mists and limestone soils that creak under the boots, two young people decided to rebel. Albert Canela and Mariona Vendrell founded Succés Vinícola when they were barely twenty years old, with a courage that seemed almost reckless. Their dream: to rescue the Trepat from oblivion, that rebellious, light and nervous grape that many thought was dead or, even worse, relegated to Cava. Instead, they saw it as a free voice, a delicate red with a white soul. Hence the birth of La Succés Vinícola La Trompa, a wine that is both manifesto and melody.
Stemming from high altitude vineyards, planted on terraces facing northeast, Succés Vinícola La Trompa is nourished by clay-limestone soils, poor in organic matter, but rich in mineral expression. The Conca de Barberà DO is here more than an origin, it is a liquid landscape. The freshness of the nights, the marinated wind that rises from the Mediterranean, and that almost monastic tenacity of a hidden region, mark the character of this wine. It is Trepat at its most stripped down, more immediate, but not for that reason simple. Lightness with intention.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand, in small crates, preserving the integrity of the grapes as much as possible. Some of the grapes are gently destemmed, others are fermented with whole bunches, to maintain the tension and the varietal crunch. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, without additives or corrections. Short macerations, almost as if they did not want to disturb the fruit, just enough time to capture its essence and a minimum extraction.
After malolactic fermentation, the wine rests for a few months in steel, with fine lees, gaining unctuousness and depth without losing freshness. There is no oak ageing: Succés Vinícola La Trompa needs no disguise. It is bottled without fining or filtering, and with a slight touch of sulphur, just to ensure the journey.
Taste
Succés Vinícola La Trompa enters the glass with that light ruby colour, almost like a serious claret, inviting without being overpowering. On the nose, a light dance of sour cherry, wild strawberries, white pepper and a floral echo reminiscent of fresh geranium and wild carnation. But there's no pretended sweetness: what comes through is freshness, tension, and an earthy background of roots and fields ploughed after the rain.
In the mouth it is pure nerve. A red that drinks like a white: electric, direct, refreshing, with a sparkling acidity that cleanses the palate and asks for one more sip. Light in body but not in presence. The tannin is almost imperceptible, a subtle caress that barely supports the structure. The finish is short but vibrant, like a trumpet that launches a high note and fades into the air leaving a smile. A wine that does not want to impress, but ends up conquering through its sincerity.
La Trompa is ideal for those who seek emotion in lightness, for those who understand that a wine does not need volume to have a voice. A delicious rarity, fresh and without make-up. Drink it slightly chilled, if possible, with good company and without haste.
