Josep Foraster Selecció Blanc stands out as one of Celler Josep Foraster’s most personal, elegant, and meticulous masterpieces, an unquestionable reference for high-quality viticulture in the DO Conca de Barberà. This exceptional white wine pays homage to old Macabeo vineyards, aged over fifty years, planted in clay-limestone soils at the foot of the Prades Mountains. Crafted under a philosophy of minimal intervention and total territorial respect, this premium white finds its balance in fermentation and subsequent aging on its own fine lees inside selected French oak barrels. The result is a wine of striking complexity that expertly balances the fresh edge of the Conca high altitude with a creamy, profound, and seductive framework. It is a highly food-friendly selection, designed for demanding palates looking to experience the true majesty of a cult old-vine Macabeo.
Tasting Note
In the glass, it shines in a captivating manner, displaying a gorgeous bright pale golden-yellow color, pristine and immaculate, paired with dense, slow legs that reflect its elegant interaction with oak barrels. On the nose, it unfolds like a rich and complex aromatic spectrum, initially showing clear notes of ripe orchard fruit such as yellow pear, baked apple, and a soft touch of vineyard peach. Immediately, aeration coaxes out the ultimate refinement of its barrel aging, offering sophisticated memories of freshly baked brioche, salted butter, wild Mediterranean forest herbs, and a delicately smoky, mineral undertone. On the palate, it behaves superbly with immense character, delivering a volumetric, rich, and heavily textured entry thanks to its extensive lees contact. Its journey across the mouth is full-bodied and wide, yet it preserves a light, airborne elegance supported by a vibrant, deeply crisp citrus acidity that acts as the wine's backbone. The finish boasts exceptional persistence, leaving an incredibly long, mineral, smoky, and ripe white fruit aftertaste.
Groundbreaking Pairings
Creamy Iberico Pork Rib Rice cooked with Wild Mushrooms and Crispy Artichoke Slits
An earthy and powerful match. The impressive volume and structural depth of this old-vine Macabeo effortlessly hold up against the rich weight of Iberico pork. Additionally, the subtle oak layers and pastry hints blend naturally alongside the mushrooms.
Grilled Atlantic Salmon Fillet topped with Creamy Fennel-Dill Velouté and Confit Onions
Rich and herbal interplay. The wine's glyceric texture wraps around the salmon's noble oils in a silky fashion, while the electric, crisp acidity driven by the Conca's altitude cuts through the rich sauce, amplifying the aromatic fennel profile.
Aged Mahón Artisanal Cheese served over Walnut Bread Toasts with Dark Oak Honey
An intense artisanal cheese contrast. The salty, bold, and highly evolved nature of cured Mahón cheese finds its ideal partner in the creaminess and body of the spectacular Selecció Blanc. The smoky and mineral traces in the glass extend the legacy of this premium pairing.
