A very old grape variety found mainly in Catalonia (Spain), in the regions of Conca de Barbera and Costers del Segre, and also in the Balearic Islands, Murcia, Valencia, etc. It is said to be related to the white heben and has no link with the white trepat of Priorat. Before the phylloxera crisis, it could be found in Languedoc and Roussillon, which is no longer the case today, but it could be interesting for producing excellent and original rosé wines.
