Product Description
Details

A varietal Spanish red wine produced by the young winemakers Mariona Vendrell and Albert Canela, the wine Succés El Mentider is solely made from Trepat, a variety indigenous to the southern Catalan region of Conca de Barberà.

The Trepat grape produces highly characteristic, peppery, deliciously drinkable wines. As if that were not enought, this wine from the Succés Vinícola winery is produced from old vines over 100 years of age.

After a traditional vinification and a long maceration process, this red wine from Conca de Barberà was aged for 9 months in French oak barrels.

The red wine Succés El Mentider 2018 proves that the Trepat variety can be used to craft distinctively elegant red wines.

Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking, or at least aerate the wine a little.

Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Succés El Mentider is deep ruby with a garnet rim.

Nose

Complex notes of plums, strawberries, toast, white pepper, spices and menthol, characteristic of the Trepat variety, with some mineral undertones and remembrances of flowers and earth.

Palate

Savoury red and black fruit, a note of pepper and spices and dash of chocolate cherry. This wine of Succés Vinícola is lively and crisp, with a very good acidity, crunchy tannins and a long, delicately smokey and earthy finish.

Our personal opinion

Made from a little-known, but exceedingly interesting Catalan native grape, the wine Succés El Mentider 2018 is a very original wine from Conca de Barberà, southern Catalonia.
