Succés Vinícola

Mariona Vendrell & Albert Canela

Conca de Barbera

Mariona and Albert met studying winemaking in Tarragona. They launched Succés Vinícola in 2011 when they were only 20 years old.

Their first wine La Cuca de Llum, Catalan for ‘firefly’ is made from trepat, a variety usually grown for the production of cava rosado. When the pair went to sample fruit from a vineyard one night they spotted a rare firefly, this coupled with the rarity of still wine made from trepat led them to name their first wine after the insect.

They source old vine, organically farmed fruit from local abuelos to make their wines from trepat for reds and parellada for whites, another variety traditionally only used for cava, rarely seen as a white wine.

La Trompa 2021

Tasting: Plummy cranberry cocktail that’s so inviting. First scent out of the gate is smoked salt rapidly followed by raspberries, watermelon, strawberries, and lemon zest. Sipping and again there is that delicious smoke, raspberries, watermelon, young strawberries, a tangy citrus squirt, and a whole wild blackberry. Also a shake of salt and white pepper that balances out this refreshing and crisp summer lightly chilled red happiness.

Succés El Prat 2020

Organic. 100% Macabeu. One hectare, 55 year-old bush-trained plantation of Macabeu in Cabra del Camp, Albert Gutiérrez’ ancestral village. (His family has been there for over 800 years; he’s a fifth-generation vinegrower). 500m elevation on clay soils, at a much higher elevation than much of the generic Macabeu that’s grown for industrial Cava. This Macabeu is macerated on skins and whole clusters for three days, finishing fermentation in inox tank. It rests in tank for three-four months before bottling, then is kept in bottle to cohere for another two-three months before release. Unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2 added. A Conca de Barberà Macabeu with a mineral spine, extravagant spice aromas, and no sense of flabbiness or haziness.
