SUCCÉS VINICOLA

Conca De Barbera, Spain

Conca De Barbera | Spain

Succés is a Catalan term for an event or something that is going to happen, so Albert and Mariona named the winery they were going to create while still very young – at 20 years of age, they finally had the opportunity to dive headfirst into their project, Succés Vinicola.  With a deep desire to respect the traditions of the land they come from, and pay tribute to their past (Albert comes from a winemaking family), they embarked on this journey together.  Part of their mission includes paying better rates to other local farmers with whom they share their vision for regenerative and organic farming.  

While most of their grapes come from vineyards owned by Albert’s family, they also purchase grapes from small growers in Serral and around Conca de Barberà.

Since 2019, all of the cuvées have been vinified and bottled without any added SO2.

Conca de Barberà is located in the North of the province of Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain. All of their vineyards belong to villages, Barberà de la Conca, Serral, Cabra del Camp and Solivella. The altitude of the vineyards is between 450 and 700 meters above sea level. The majority of the vineyards are composed of clay and limestone.

~FEEDBACK~

Organic. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Trepat from old vines, 30% Ull de llebre. The vineyards of trepat and cabernet have clay and limestone soil. The Ull de llebre vineyard is mostly composed of rocky soils. The Cabernet vineyard is 700 meters and the Trepat and Ull de Ilebre are between 400 and 450 meters. The Trepat and the Cabernet are co-fermented in a stainless steel tank and the Ull de Illebre is fermented in a separate tank. The grapes ferment for approximately 20 days with the indigenous yeast.  After 10 days of fermentation, the grapes are pressed and put back in tanks and undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine is then put into oak barrels for approximately four months.

Succes Wine el mentider

Aged in Burgundy barrels from 225L-600L capacity during about 9 months, depending on the vintage. Very low dose of sulphites. Mentider (Catalan for ‘liar’) is a mono varietal wine produced from Trepat, native to Conca de Barberà. This grape is characterized by low alcohol content, light body and colour. Generally, it is used as base wine for rosé cava. When we saw the potential of this old- vine fruit, the opposite of the general definition, we decided to name it Mentider.
