Trepat
The Trepat or Trepadell is an indigenous red wine variety from the Conca de Barberà wine-growing region in Catalonia (Spain).
The Trepat vines are elongated and very dense, the grapes are large, round and sweet. They bud early and ripen late (late September to early October), do not tolerate drought and are quite sensitive to frost. Their yield is medium-high at 8,000 to 12,000 kg / ha.
The wine from this grape is fresh, light and fruity due to its comparatively high acidity , with a less specific aroma and a moderately high alcohol content (10–11.5% vol. ). It is mainly used to make rosé wines or the sparkling wine cava .
Trepat is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). Like most grape varieties, it is monoecious . In seed plants, monoeye denotes the presence of female and male flowers on a plant. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to plant any male plants that produce yield is avoided.
Synonyms
The Trepat grape variety is also known under the names Trepó, Criatendra, Cuatendra, Pansa Borda, Pansa Roja, Panser Negre, Pansó and Tarragoní.
