Julieta

Mas Foraster · Conca de Barbera, Spain

Julieta is a tribute to Ricard Foraster's mother, with whom he manages the winery. Julieta is made with 100% Trepat grapes, the indigenous variety in the Conca de Barbera DO. This wine comes from a single vineyard located on the Sierra de Miramar 520 meters above sea level. Light and fresh, Julieta shows aromas of red fruit with spicy notes and a touch of undergrowth. Aging in cement vats results in very soft tannins.
