VINS DE PEDRA is a personal project from Marta Pedra. It is also a re-encounter with her origins. The smell of the winery during the fermentation of the wines, the red hands stained with wine, the frenzied noise of the bottles being labelled … All these sensations are coming back again for this young oenologist. Her great-grandfather was an oenologist from the region of Tarragona. He travelled from winery to winery, tasting some wines from this tank or that barrel. This passion for the vines and wine seems to have been passed down silently from one generation to another, until it re-emerged in Marta.
After she immersed in books of oenology and wine growing, stained her hands in more than one winery from the wine region Conca de Barbera, Marta has accomplished her dream. Her winery is not the most beautiful one, neither the biggest. It also has not the glamour of some others, but it is surely the most wished winery of them all and Vins de Pedra it is called.
DO CONCA DE BARBERÀ
A Catalonian region in the north of the province of Tarragona. The wine growing area is primarily concentrated in a part of the region that owes its geological formation to the erosive action of the Francolí River and its tributary called Anguera. The combined action of these two rivers in the course of the millennia has shaped the appearance of this part of the region as a river valley surrounded by mountain ridges. Most vineyards are situated at altitudes of 350 to 600 m, which lends the wines a fresh and light note and an aromatic bouquet. Generally speaking, the climate can be described as a Mediterranean transitional climate which ranges between the mild climate of the coastal regions of Tarragona (due to the relative proximity to the sea) and the continental climate typical of the Lérida region.
Trepat is the native variety of Conca de Barberà. It delivers very characteristic light and fruity wines of perfect acidity and medium alcohol content. Trepat is used for rosé wines, and for base wines to be turned into cavas of great personality. However, there is also an increasing number of red wines, and also some white wines, which are gaining widespread recognition.
