The 2010 Josep Foraster Trepat comes from the winery’s 52-year-old vines grown at 500 metres altitude and cultivated organically (though not certified.) It is matured in French oak of which 70% is new and the rest second fill. It has a pale ruby colour. The nose is light with traces of red berry fruit, but develops stony, tertiary aromas. The palate is light and fresh, lacks substance due to the grape variety rather than winemaking, but it is clean and fresh on the finish. Drink now. I visited Mas Foraster on a lucid sunny morning in Conca de Barbera. They farm 34 hectares at around 370 metres altitude. The estate includes plots planted in 1995 and 2001, introducing their white wine later in 2007. All fruit is sourced from their own vineyards. Importer: T. Edward Wines, New York; NY; tel.
