MAS DE LA PANSA

“For me, wine is culture,” says Imma Soler. “Wine represents the territory, its people and also its way of thinking. It also tells us about traditions, respect and love for the land. It tells us stories and gives us the possibility to discover the gastronomy of each area. And, above all, the dignity and respect for the farmer. Without a doubt: Wine is passion and a way of life.”

Soler—whose wines radiate the same energy as her ‘solar’ name—started Mas de la Pansa in 2016, intent on championing grapes native to Catalunya, tending to her family’s old-vine Macabeu and Parellada in Alt Camp, and especially, the Trepat vines in neighboring Conca de Barberà.

“Trepat is a red-wine grape used most conspicuously in the sparkling rosado Cavas, but may appear in blends along with Garnacha and Tempranillo,” Imma explains. She goes on to share an interesting story about the horse depicted on the label of her Trepat bottling: “This is a tribute to Vermell, the horse that saved the life of my father when he was only three years old. My grandfather was working in the field when Vermell stopped in his tracks and refused to continue the row.  He wouldn’t do it because at his feet he saw the little boy, my father.”

As seen through this poignant label, Mas de la Pansa is not just a wine project; it is a way for Imma to connect her roots while honoring the family legacy and to contribute to the preservation of the landscape and wine culture of the Tarragona regions. Each bottle is a story of love for the land, work well done and the passion for an authentic and uncompromising wine.
