2019 Josep Foraster Trepat, Conca de Barbera, Spain (750ml)   

Mas Foraster is a winery of reference for the Trepat variety. The family Foraster has been growing grapes in Conca de Barbera for over 150 years. In 1998 Julieta and his son Ricard embarked on their dream of taking over the family winery and started making wines focusing on local varieties.

Mas Foraster produces wines from estate fruits only practicing organic farming. The vineyards are located in a valley surrounded by mountains at an altitude of 400 m, to 600 m, 30 km from the sea; sharing its southern border with Priorat and Montsant. The high elevation of Conca de Barbera, combined with the cool sea breaze from the Mediterranean sea, allows the grape to retain acidity during ripening season producing fresher wine, with structure and elegance. Trepat is the essence of the Conca de Barberà and the Cellar. Delicacy, elegance and freshness. Supple red fruit, white pepper and light background with notes of nuts. Balsamic and mineral notes. Very expressive and persistent on the palate
