The wine has a spicy spiciness mixed with a bitter - sour taste as unripe red berries , which you should get used to appreciate it . Equally In the distance this reminds me of the spicy , bitter acid touches of Mondeuse from the Savoy in France . The acidity is also reasonably high .
1. Trepat is a grape that occurs almost exclusively in the wine region Conca de Barberá in Catalonia ,
about 100 km east of Barcelona .Red wine from this grape is even rarer . As I understand it , there are
only two producers who make red wine Trepat . The grape was used until recently only as seasoning
in pink and Cava .

That makes sense if you have tasted this wine. Trepat has a quirky and peculiar taste , which you can
imagine that is welcome in small amounts to flavor blends which other grapes are allowed to play the
lead role . Moreover Trepat has little color.More fun to discover that red wine may be Trepat .
Surprisingly tasty. I find the JosepForasterTrepat 2011 great. He is exciting , surprising, energetic,
layered . Wine which is much to discover . Very special , not to be compared to any other wine.

This combination makes the wine lively, attractive and energetic , while the acid gives him length .
Furthermore, smell and taste berries , cherry , strawberry and flowers , with the finish background
some coffee and chocolate.
Because the bitter sour , peppery element is so prominent , you need a bit of trouble for this wine do
to estimate . Its uniqueness in value The wine demands attention . Pour him casually inside.

It might surprise you to learn that Spain is the third largest producer of wine in the world, right
behind the likely leaders -- Italy and France.
With recent modernizations in wine growing, Spain may not be third much longer. Developments in
irrigation, mechanized training of vines in place of goblet pruning and new barrels made out of
French oak, instead of old barrels made from American wood, are bringing Spanish wines new
respect throughout the world.
Spain also has varieties of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and
Pinot Noir, but they are generally used only for assemblage with local varieties.
Just as there are a large number of native grape varieties in Spain there are also a large number of
wine regions. Presently, more than 50 are D.O. registered, meaning "Denominacion de Origen" -- a
labeling system regulated by the InstitutoNacional de DenominacionesDespite the quality of many
Spanish wines, their price tags are low compared to those of Italy and France simply because they are
lesser known. Go to: www.vinoimas.eu for the best Spanish wines.
