The 2012 Josep Foraster Trepat is very pale, almost translucent ruby-colored, some would say it’s a dark rose, but that’s the typical color of the Trepat grape, with a perfumed and subtle nose of flowers and red fruits (pomegranate) and a light palate with very good acidity and elegant, pure flavors and very good length. This is reminiscent of a Pinot Noir. An elegant red – I’d love to see how it ages. Highly recommended, ideal to know what Trepat is, and at a sensible price. Drink now-2017.
is a family winery, created in 1998, where they work exclusively with the fruit of their own vineyards, which are organically farmed. I really liked their interpretation of the local red grape Trepat.
