Metamorphika Trepat is a natural red wine made by Costador, under winemaker Joan Franquet, from Catalunya, Spain. It is produced from 100% Trepat, a grape indigenous to Conca de Barberà, grown on old high-altitude vines. The vineyards span terroirs of slate, clay, and limestone at elevations between 400 and 800 meters. The wine is fermented with wild yeasts in clay amphorae and aged in clay.

Light, fruity reds from Trepat suit a range of dishes. The wine's freshness and acidity make it adaptable to lighter fare. Lamb is a natural partner for many red wines from the region.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Costador

Costador, also known as Costa D'Or Terroirs Mediterranis, is run by winemaker Joan Franquet and works around 15 plots scattered across the Tarragona province, mostly centred on Conca de Barberà, with mountainous and Mediterranean influences. The wines are vinified from the oldest wine cooperative building in Spain, in Barberà de la Conca.

Costador works only with organic and biodynamic practices on old vineyards, the majority between 60 and 110 years old, with some vineyards certified. Temperature is controlled throughout the process, from harvest through fermentation and aging.

Joan Franquet uses only wild and autochthonous yeasts for fermentation, which occurs primarily in amphorae or stainless steel tanks. The Metamorphika line is fermented and aged in clay, and the wine is bottled in ceramic clay bottles so it spends its entire life in clay.

Wine region

Catalunya, Spain

Costador works in the Conca de Barberà area of Catalunya, in the north of the Tarragona province, where the land rises toward the inland mountains. The vineyards sit at altitudes between 400 and 800 meters, with a fresh, ventilated climate and strong thermal contrast that allows the grapes to mature slowly while preserving freshness and acidity. Soil types vary between slate, clay, and limestone.

Trepat is an autochthonous red grape variety from the Conca de Barberà, historically used to make light, fresh, and fruity rosé wines, with good acidity and medium alcohol. The first red Trepat wine was made in 1987 as a carbonic maceration wine, and from 2004 onward the production of Trepat reds was revived. From 2009 onward there has been a tendency to make red wines from Trepat.
