About
The grape varieties used in the production of the base wine for this Cava are Trepat and Garnacha. The harvest begins at the end of September with the Trepat and is
followed at the beginning of October with the Garnacha. We chose the Trepat for the very special aromatic characteristics which it gives to both still wines and Cavas. It is a variety indigenous to the region of Conca de Barberà in the Province of Tarragona. There is only 1000 ha planted in the whole of Catalunya. Its particular characteristics do not only depend on winemaking and ageing, but also on the soils, the climate and the management of the vineyards.
Bright strawberry pink, with an abundant mid-sized bubble, which rises quickly in the glass, and forms a good crown at the top of the glass. The nose is wonderfully fruity, as a result of the low fermentation temperatures between 15 and 17c, which allow most of the primary grape aromas to be retained. There are rich floral and fresh bay leaf aromas from eh Garnach, blending with ripe red fruits, blackberry and strawberry. The palate is fresh and light, soft and appealing.

Writer's block
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
