Josep Foraster is a family winery located in Montblanc inside D.O. Conca de Barbera; where we cultivate our own vineyard with organic methods. We work mostly with autochthonous varieties like Trepat and Macabeu. We also use spontaneous fermentation to maintain the most characteristics of our land.

In Josep Foraster property, we cultivate vineyard and olive since 1828, the first expansion was done by Ramon Maria Foraster (1893-1956) at the beggining of XX century.
During Spanish Civil War a important part of the property was lost. Some years later Ramon Maria’s son, Josep Foraster Roselló (1923- 2015) recoverd a big part of the property and started a farming explotation (cow, pig,and chiken).
During this period most of the grape was selled to Montblanc’s wine cooperative.
