Conca de Barberà's Altitude: The Secret of Acidity

Discover how diurnal thermal swings between 400 and 900 meters altitude preserve the vibrant acidity of the Trepat grape.

Conca de Barberà is a protected geographical amphitheater flanked by the Prades and Miramar mountains in southern Catalonia.

Sitting between 400 and 900 meters above sea level, the region benefits from remarkable day-to-night temperature swings of up to 20°C (36°F) in late summer.

These cool nights pause the vine's metabolic respiration, preserving precious tartaric acidity and floral precursors.

Combined with clay-limestone soils and ancient riverbed terraces, Trepat ripens late into crisp October with electric structural tension.
