49% Garnacha, 29% Carignan, 16% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep and brooding but structured, with dark cherries, black olive, iron minerality, and dried lavender threading through the glass. The tannins are firm and angular, built for time this is not a drink-now wine. The finish is long, chalky, and mineral in the way only llicorella slate seems to produce.
René Barbier planted Clos Mogador in 1979 and is credited with founding the modern Priorat appellation. The estate covers 20 hectares of old-vine Grenache and Carignan on pure llicorella soils in Gratallops, farmed organically. This is the original Priorat benchmark every other bottle from the region has to answer to it.
