La Cuca de Llum Trepat 2020

Tasting: Trepat was long thought to not be capable of producing good still wine (it has traditionally been used to produce rose cava), talented producers are changing the reputation of the grape with some very fine Trepat wines. La Cuca de Llum means Firefly in Catalan, winemaking couple Albert and Mariona saw fireflies over the Trepat vineyard that they had gone to sample fruit from at night, therefore they named their first wine after the elusive insect. Light bodied with dusky bramble fruits, plush and silky tannins, with an aromatic nose of lilacs and blackberry blossom. Farmed organically and only minimal sulphites used.
