Mariona Vendrell & Albert Canela fell in love studying winemaking in Tarragona, and started Succés Vinícola in 2011 at the age of 20. Their first wine was a red made from Trepat & Parellada - traditionally Trepat is only used for the region’s sparkling rosé. Albert uses his family’s vinous connections to source fruit from older, organically farmed vineyards owned by local abuelos, and the couple continue to push boundaries in what’s considered possible in the region with good farming and introspective winemaking.

A very rare and unique red wine made from a grape variety called Trepat, generally only used to put the red colour into sparkling rose Cava. It has a wonderfully big meaty flavour, with intense dark berry fruits, yet has a lightness of touch also, it is not overly heavy. The soft tannic structure and dark fruit profile mean it is a perfect wine for meaty dishes and hearty winter stews.
