A Priorat splendor, Clos Mogador is the work of the Barbier family, who fell in love with this amphitheater plunging into the Siurana River. A fairytale born in 1979, on this land exiled from Catalonia, one of the oldest vineyards on the Peninsula. Altitude, freshness, and varied exposure shape the wines that have become legendary: powerful, majestic red wines and a unique, dazzling white wine.

This mythical estate, cradled by terroirs of schist and quartz, forges wines of extreme finesse, repeatedly awarded the highest Parker scores.
