2024 Òrbita Venus Trepat

The 2024 Òrbita Venus Trepat is a vibrant, finely etched red from Conca de Barberà in northeastern Spain, crafted to showcase the delicate, aromatic character of the native Trepat grape. Light on its feet yet full of personality, it offers a fresh, almost alpine take on Mediterranean red wine. This cuvée highlights Òrbita Venus’ ongoing exploration of Trepat as one of Spain’s most exciting grapes for elegant, low-intervention wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2024 Òrbita Venus Trepat shows a pale to medium ruby hue, with a translucent core that hints at its finesse-driven style. The nose is lifted and expressive, offering notes of wild red berries, pomegranate, cranberries and fresh cherries, layered with rose petals, white pepper, dried herbs and a subtle earthy, stony undertone. On the palate, it is juicy and ultra-fresh, with bright acidity and finely woven, silky tannins. Flavors of tart red fruit—think redcurrant and sour cherry—are joined by hints of blood orange zest, fennel, and a gentle spice that adds complexity without weight. The finish is long, precise and mouthwatering, leaving a clean, mineral impression. Enjoyed for its youthful brightness, this 2024 vintage is best over the next 3–5 years, when its primary fruit, floral lift and tension are at their most vivid.

Production
Òrbita Venus sources Trepat from high-altitude vineyard sites in Conca de Barberà, where limestone and clay soils, together with a continental-Mediterranean climate and cooling evening breezes, help preserve acidity and aromatic purity. Grapes are typically harvested by hand in small crates to ensure careful selection in the vineyard and minimal damage to the fruit. In the cellar, the wine is made with a light touch: whole or partially whole clusters, native yeasts and gentle extraction to emphasize perfume rather than power. Aging takes place in inert vessels and/or older barrels to avoid overt oak influence, allowing the Trepat character and the region’s terroir to shine through with clarity.

Food & Serving
This Trepat’s freshness and moderate body make it extremely versatile at the table. It pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled or roasted poultry, rabbit, pork loin, and dishes featuring mushrooms, herbs or tomato-based sauces. It also works well with lightly spiced Mediterranean cuisine, tapas, grilled vegetables and semi-soft cheeses. Serve lightly chilled, around 14–16°C (57–61°F), to highlight its vibrant fruit and floral notes. Decanting for 20–30 minutes can help the wine open up aromatically, though it’s already very approachable straight from the bottle.

Producer
Òrbita Venus is an avant-garde project based in Catalonia, associated with the team behind Venus La Universal and the renowned winemaking families of Priorat. Born from a desire to explore cooler sites and native varieties outside the region’s more powerful styles, Òrbita Venus has become one of the key voices reinterpreting Catalan terroirs through a fresher, more delicate lens. In Conca de Barberà, their focus on Trepat—long considered a local, somewhat rustic grape—has helped reposition it as a serious variety for fine, elegant reds. The estate’s commitment to low-intervention viticulture, sensitive farming and terroir-driven winemaking has earned it a strong reputation among sommeliers and wine enthusiasts seeking characterful, authentic Spanish wines.
