100% Trepat. This black variety is seeing a resurgence, albeit from a very low base, as it was almost completely pushed out in the very big corporate business of Cava production, long dominated by two companies - Freixenet and Codorníu. It’s native to Catalunya, particularly to the Odena subregion where family estate Can Macià resides. There they make Cava with the traditional method, with an extended 18 months of bottle ageing. The wine is packed full of fresh wild berries and gently nutty pastry notes, full and lively on the palate with a delicate finish. Drink as an aperitif or with river fish, baked rice dishes, or fresh, milky cheeses.
