Mas Foraster is located in the village of Montblanc Spain, just inland from the city of Tarragona, in the beautiful Catalonia region of Spain northeastern Spain. The estate has a total of 29hectares (just under 72 acres) where they mostly grow Cabernet Sauvignon and Ull de Llebre (Catalan for Tempranillo) as well as Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo and Chardonnay for white wines. They also grow the indigenous variety Trepat, which is what originally drew our attention to this fantastic producer. Trepat is a wonderful variety which fans of Pinot Noir will definitely enjoy. It produces lighter bodied wines with wonderful red fruit notes and floral qualities, and it is also often used to produce rose wines and cavas in the region.

Mas Foraster is a wonderful addition to our portfolio as they are a family owned and operated winery, seeking to produce wines with the highest quality possible, and making sure their wines truly express the terroir of their vineyards.
