Blend of Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep violet in colour. This is a highly complexed wine which presents fresh red fruits and blueberry with a mix of potpourri, exotic spices, and a smoky mineral note which adds vibrancy. The structure is nicely concentrated and energetic, offering vibrant, spice-laced boysenberry, black raspberry and candied violet flavours. This is a distinctly elegant style with fine-grained tannins adding shape to an impressively long, penetrating finish.

Description
René Barbier led the original Priorat movement, proving that exciting and unique fine wines could be made in this forgotten corner of Spanish Catalonia. At Clos Mogador, he nursed back to life abandoned old vineyards planted on steep schist hillsides, where the ancient Grenache and Carignan vines had learnt to struggle against the aridity by sending roots 25 metres down in search of water and nutrients, yielding less than 10 hectolitres per hectare of intense, concentrated and supercomplex juice. The estate became firmly established as the number one address in the appellation, with a bulging press book to back this claim. But Clos Mogador is much more, a thriving ecosystem and a celebration of biodiversity, a blueprint for living "terroir."
