We had some rosado cava over Xmas and that reminded me of the grape Trepat which was the partner to Garnacha in the cava's cepage. Of course I had tasted the grape before, but I am sure all those times I had tasted it, it was as a component of rosado cava.
Trepat is a red wine grape from the Conca de Barbera and Costers del Segre regions in Catalonia, where it is used as a component in blended roses of those regions. there they are blended with Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and a few other grapes which vary with the two regions. Trepat by itself makes fairly light, fruity wines with medium alcohol and balanced acidity.
