Product Description
Details
We are proud to present the 2021 vintage of the wine Clos Mogador. This is one of the freshest, most vibrant vintages in recent years.
This already legendary Spanish red wine bears the label "Vi de Finca Qualificada" (meaning single vineyard wine), the highest official quality distinction granted in Catalonia.
The wine is crafted by the great René Barbier, one of the pioneers who brought Priorat back to life almost three decades ago.
Uncompromising and terroir-oriented, this Reserva red wine is a blend of 45% Grenache, 29% Carignan, 16% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes come from the 20 hectares of vineyards owned by the Clos Mogador winery. They are located at an average altitude of 350 metres above sea level, on a natural amphitheatre made of the legendary Priorat llicorella soils.
Harvested at an optimal ripening state, the grapes were fermented in diposits with a 30% of the stems and a 35 to 65-day skin maceration. Then the wine Clos Mogador 2021 was transferred into 2,000-litre oak vats and aged for 18 months. It was bottled in June 2023.
We suggest that you decant this red wine from Priorat at least 2 hours before you drink it. Longer decantations will greatly improve the wine.

Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Clos Mogador is medium purple with some reddish and bluish tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | It is extremely important to let this blend of Grenache, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah breathe. Then we will find notes of blueberries, redcurrants, blackberries, along with an underlying layer of cinnamon, vanilla, clove, an even deeper layer of wet earth, dry stone and ash, and some enticing overtones of blue flowers, incense and sandalwood. |
| Palate | This wine from Clos Mogador embodies the spirit of the land in the most moving manner one can imagine. Impressive tension and phenomenal acidity, with a detailed, surprisingly refined texture underscored by the trademark, unique Priorat minerality. Having said that, we must bear in mind that the wine is still in the making, as its elements are slowly coming together. |
| Our personal opinion | The fact that we can make a gem like Clos Mogador 2021 available to our customers is something we consider a privilege. |

One of the world's ultimate red wines, and the least snobbish one.
I raise my hat for you, Mr. Barbier.

mogador!!
At this price, I would build a home cellar to store cases of Mogador in order to joyfully drink myself into old age.
