Description
From the high vineyards of Conca de Barberà, where the altitude is close to 800 metres and the air is clean, dry and sharp, Succés Vinícola Experiència was born as an exercise in radical honesty. Succés Vinícola, the project promoted by Mariona Vendrell and Albert Canela, set out from the outset to dignify what many considered secondary. And so, with almost stubborn courage, they decided to go for Parellada, a grape historically relegated to the role of supporting actor in Cava blends, to show all that it can say when left to speak for itself.
The grape comes from old plots grown at Altura, in poor, chalky, light-textured soils, where the vines struggle, and precisely for that reason, express themselves with purity. There, the Parellada ripens slowly, gaining a vibrant acidity and an innate tension that many Mediterranean white wines can only envy. The continental climate and the influence of the cool breezes coming down from the mountains mark a dry, electric, mineral style. The wine is born not from comfort, but from the challenge: to extract character from the subtle. As Albert once said, "Parellada does not shout, but if you know how to listen to it, it tells you very deep truths".
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand early in the morning to preserve the natural freshness of the grapes. The berries are gently pressed, almost ritualistically, and the must is decanted by gravity before fermenting spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. No oak is used; there is no intention here to add artificial volume or extraneous nuances. Succés Vinícola Experiència rests on its fine lees for about 5 months, without battonage, allowing the subtle contact to provide texture and stability, but without altering its natural verticality. Unclarified, unfiltered, bottled with a minimum dose of sulphur dioxide.
Taste
On the nose, Succés Vinícola Experiència does not seek to impress with exuberance, but to seduce with precision. Notes of lemon peel, water pear, wild fennel and a marked line of wet chalk. A barely perceptible background of wilted white flowers appears, almost ethereal, like a breeze that passes and does not linger.
On the palate, the entry is crystalline, direct, with an acidity reminiscent of a dry Riesling, but with a more ethereal body. A sensation of rock water, with saline echoes and a very fine texture that glides like silk over the palate. The finish is long in sensation, not in weight: green citrus, raw almond and a lingering chalky minerality reminiscent of the landscape it comes from. There is no fat, no sweetness, just straightforwardness, freshness and a certain severity that is tremendously pleasing to those who seek uncompromising white wines.
A wine to drink calmly, with or without food. But above all, a wine that demands attention and returns authenticity. The Parellada, at last, takes the floor.
