Another success from Clos Figueras, when they released their first sweet wine made entirely from late harvested, overripe Grenache grapes.

Production:

The grapes are hand harvested and selected both in the vineyard and the cellar.

Fermentation takes place in cold and it has been deliberately stopped before reaching the end to obtain the sugar.

They were 979 bottles for the vintage 2020.

Tasting Notes: Red sweet wine with a clean strawberry red colour.  Floral scented nose, roses and violets, combined with blackcurrant and almond notes. Fresh and velvety on the palate, smooth and long, bursting with red fruits and ending in a lengthy, pleasant finish.

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