Les Gallinetes is a red blend from Mas Foraster, a family estate in Montblanc in the DO Conca de Barberà of central Catalonia. The 2018 is made from organically farmed Garnacha, Trepat, and Syrah grown on alluvial clay soils on sunny south-facing slopes at around 370 meters elevation. Grapes are harvested by hand, with some biodynamic practices followed in the vineyard.
Fermentation is spontaneous, and the wine is aged for several months in French oak barrels. The name translates to "the hens" in Catalan, a nod to the old henhouse on the estate that was converted into the winery's vinification room when Mas Foraster was established in 1998.
The wine is made in collaboration with APRODISCA, the Association for People with Mental Disability of Conca de Barberà. Members of APRODISCA design the label, and Josep Foraster contributes a portion of proceeds to the association's Occupational Therapy Service. It is a genuinely functional social project, not a marketing concept.
Trepat is an indigenous variety grown almost exclusively in Conca de Barberà. In this blend it contributes freshness, red fruit aromatics, and naturally low alcohol, while Garnacha adds roundness and Syrah provides structure and a hint of spice. The result is light-bodied, fruit-forward, and easy to drink young.
