Happy New
Year Everybody!!!
Like every New
Year’s Day I’d like to present to you guys out there a sparkling wine.
As always a kind of Fizz I am not very familiar at all. So, accept my
apologies for all the ignorance I am about to write right now! Please! It is my
first Trepat sparkling after all.
What is Trepat? Trepat is a late ripening, large-berried and pretty frail red Spanish grape variety which is primarily grown in the D. O.’s of Cava, Conca de Barberà and Costers del Segre in Catalonia. In most cases it is used for Rosé and of sparkling Rosé wines – just like my New Year’s Fizz. The producer of my Trepat is one of the biggest and most renowned names in the Cava business: Agustí Torelló Mata. In 1959 he started to open up his own Cava winery. Before this new challenge he was involved in several other Cava ventures. Today, the Agustí Torelló Mata winery is famous for its eccentrically looking flagship fizz Krypta, just the bottle not the actual wine, and its intense and highly balanced Brut Nature from traditional grape varietals. Let’s check out today’s Rosat Trepat Brut Reserva from 2009:
