Vins de Pedra
Vins de Pedra is the personal project of Marta Pedra, who just happens to be the wife of Josep Serra from the winery La Vinyeta. Winemaking runs deep in Marta’s family—her great-grandfather was a renowned oenologist from Tarragona—but the passion for wine lay dormant for several generations before awakening in her. Growing up surrounded by vines, Marta pursued her dream by studying oenology and working in several small wineries in the region before finally establishing her own. Her tiny winery sits at the crossroads of maritime and continental climates, with calcareous soils and numerous micro-climates, which contribute to the complexity of her wines. Marta’s wines are highly regarded, almost as much for the unique label design—created by her godfather and changed each year—as for the exceptional wines inside the bottle. Marta practices organic viticulture and is in the process of certification. All the vines are hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented at low temperatures, between 15ºC and 24ºC. Her Folls wines are vinified in stainless steel, offering a lighter, more fruit-forward style. The Trempat and La Musa wines, on the other hand, see careful use of new French oak. The Trempat, made from 100% Trepat, is light and fragrant, with soft red fruits and a delicate peppery note. La Musa is bigger, riper, and more concentrated, showcasing a fuller expression of the terroir.
