Trepat

The red grape variety originates from Spain. Synonyms are Bonicaire, Carlina, Embolicaire, Negra Blana, Parrel, Parrel-Verdal, Perrel de Monte, Perrel de Regadio, Tempranillo del Baron, Trepan, Trepat Negre and Traput. It should not be confused with the Parraleta (Parrel) variety, despite seemingly suggestive synonyms. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2018, it is a presumably natural cross between Hebén x unknown partner. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). The white variety Trepat Blanc is not a colour mutation (or vice versa).

The late-maturing vine is susceptible to black spot disease. It produces fruity, spicy, light red wines with flavours of strawberries, raspberries and cinnamon. It is mainly used for rosé wines, as well as light red wines and for the production of cava. The variety is cultivated in the DO areas of Conca de Barberà and Costers del Segre in the Catalonia region. It is also grown in small quantities in the DO area of Valencia (Levante) under the name Bonicaire. In 2016, a total of 1,199 hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson).
