Underdog Grape · Spain

Trepat

Pronounced treh-PAT

If you drink Pinot Noir for its lightness and lift, Trepat is the underdog worth chasing — a pale, high-acid Catalan red that only recently started showing up as a still wine instead of a splash of color in rosé Cava.

Tasting profile
Pale as a dark rosé, with crunchy strawberry and raspberry, a dusting of cinnamon, and a bitter twist of orange peel on a bright, clean finish.
