Clos Mogador - Priorat - Clos Mogador - Rouge - 2020

Wine:

Rated 97/100 by Parker, the 2020 Red Priorat flies over the vintage, shrugging off mixed weather conditions. More powerful than usual, with an impressive tannic mass, it nonetheless retains a magnificent freshness and, above all, does not suffer at all from its aging. In fact, since this year, the estate has opted for 20 hl foudres, which allow the wine to breathe more freely, and the result is certainly conclusive. The balance is total, and all that remains is to wait a few more years before being able to appreciate it to the full.

Vinification:

Hand harvested. 35% whole grapes, using only indigenous yeasts. Maceration from 35 to 65 days. Aged 100% in 20 hl tuns for 18 months. Bottling in the 2nd week of July 2022.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Roast Cabri with thyme and rosemary, herb-crusted oven-roasted shoulder of lamb, sautéed prime rib of beef, Bresse pigeon with black pepper concassee.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2032 and beyond for enthusiasts

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.
