Trepat is one of Spain's most intriguing indigenous grape varieties — a thin-skinned red cultivar grown almost exclusively in Catalonia's Conca de Barberà and Costers del Segre regions. While it can be vinified as a still red, Trepat truly shines as a rosé: pale in colour, luminously fresh, and bursting with red fruit character. Its naturally high acidity gives these wines an elegant, food-friendly mouthfeel that sets them apart from fuller, more extracted styles. At Mercado 46, we champion grapes like Trepat precisely because they offer something genuinely different — wines with a strong sense of place and a personality all of their own.

In a world increasingly drawn to bold, oak-aged blockbusters, Trepat offers a compelling counterpoint. This ancient Catalan variety thrives on calcareous soils at altitude, where cool nights preserve natural acidity and allow for slow, even ripening. The result is a grape that produces wines of remarkable freshness and restraint — qualities that are increasingly prized by wine lovers seeking terroir-driven authenticity over sheer power.
Trepat rosés tend to display a pale salmon or delicate cherry hue, with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, dried rose petal and a subtle herbal note that speaks clearly of its inland Mediterranean origins. On the palate, expect a light-to-medium body, a clean, vibrant finish and a mouthfeel that is silky without being heavy. These are not wines that demand extended cellaring — they are built for pleasure, and best enjoyed young and well-chilled.
Agustí Torelló Mata: Crafting Trepat with Precision
Among the finest expressions of this grape in our catalogue is the Agustí Torelló Mata Solid Rosado ECO Joven — a certified organic rosé that captures everything compelling about Trepat. Produced by one of Catalonia's most respected estates, this wine is fruit-forward yet precise, with a nervosity on the palate that keeps it lively from first sip to last. Its eco credentials add another layer of appeal for consumers who care about sustainability in the vineyard as much as quality in the glass.
At around 26€, it sits firmly in that sweet spot where quality and value intersect — the kind of bottle that overdelivers and converts first-time Trepat drinkers into devoted fans.
Pairing Trepat Wines with Food
The high acidity and light body of Trepat rosé make it an exceptionally versatile partner at the table. Think grilled seafood, light pasta dishes with tomato or vegetable sauces, fresh goat's cheese, or a simple charcuterie board. Its refreshing character also makes it a natural choice as an aperitif, particularly in warmer months when something bright and unfussy is exactly what's called for.
