Clos Figueres is the winery's most legendary wine. A limited-edition wine. The grapes come from old vines over 60 years old, grown on an estate comprising slopes and terraces situated at an altitude of 40 metres above sea level, with soil composed of the characteristic llicorella.

Production:

Hand-harvested with a double selection of grapes, both in the vineyard and at the winery. Fermentation takes place in 300 and 500-litre open barrels with daily pigeage, followed by gentle pressing in a vertical press. The wine is then aged for 14 months in new and one-year-old 300 to 500-litre French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes:

Deep red in colour. It displays an intense nose, with notes of ripe and fresh red fruits, pleasant hints of mint and floral nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and expressive, with a lively, elegant and highly complex mouthfeel that also displays great finesse. A spicy and mineral finish.

Note: We recommend letting the wine breathe or decanting before serving. Great potential of ageing in bottle

Clos Figueras was purchased in 1997 by Charlotte and Christopher Cannan on the recommendation of Réne Barbier. The 18-hectare estate is located just to the north of the renowned village of Gratallops. Actually, the vineyard includes around 2500 old Grenache and Carignan vines, which are the base for the Clos Figueres; the remaining vines were planted in 1998 and are the base for the elaboration of Font de la Figuera and Sierras del Priorat.
