Description
At mid Altura, in the limestone vineyards of the Conca de Barberà, there is a plot of land that is unlike any other: it is called El Prat, and from it comes one of Succés Vinícola's most unique wines. Mariona Vendrell and Albert Canela, its creators, have been cultivating for twenty years with a clear philosophy: to return to the land without artifice, to let nature express itself without make-up. The Macabeu, a variety traditionally forgotten in favour of more commercial grapes, has been their great bet. And in Succés Vinícola El Prat, a 55-year-old plot planted at an altitude of 500 metres above sea level on calcareous soils, this variety shows its full potential: freshness, structure and a minerality marked by the Mediterranean landscape that surrounds it.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand, with direct selection in the vineyard. The Macabeo grapes are destemmed and left to macerate with their skins for seven days, a technique that adds texture and complexity without losing freshness. Fermentation starts spontaneously, with no added yeasts, in stainless steel tanks. No sulphites are used during the process. Once finished, the wine remains for three months on its fine lees, gaining volume and depth without intervening more than necessary. It is, above all, a free-run wine.
Taste
At first sip, Succés Vinícola El Prat surprises with its honesty: nothing in it is disguised. Ripe white fruits, such as pear and golden apple, mingle with notes of orange peel and a delicate herbaceous background. The palate is direct, with a lively acidity that sustains the drink and a slightly bitter finish that invites you to keep drinking. It is a wine with texture, with life, with intention. Each sip seems to tell something of the land where it was born, of the sun that matured it and the wind that refreshed it. A white wine that does not seek to please everyone, but to move whoever dares to listen to it.
