2020 Clos Mogador comes from Gratallops, one of sub-zones of Priorat. Here is a blend of Garnacha, Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 18 mounts in large 2000 litre foudres. The wine was fermented with only indigenous yeasts, 30% of grapes were with stems with maceration for 35-65 days. Limited production of 21 000 bottles.
The 2020 vintage was a difficult year. In spite of the resulting lower-than-normal yields, there is no doubt that the move towards working with regenerative agriculture and promoting biodiversity in the vineyards – creating more life and energy in the vineyards – is paying off in the final product.
Though youthful, this wine is extremely approachable and enjoyable now, fresh and bursting with ripe red and black berries. The texture is plush voluptuous, full and the tannins are firm but not overpowering. There is even a touch of leather, spice, and earth which balances out the fruit so beautifully.
Serve at 16-18 °C with grilled or roasted red meats, mature cheese, Iberian ham.
Clos Mogador is a wine estate in Gratallops in the Priorat appellation of Catalonia, particularly known for its red wines focusing on Grenache and Carignan. The estate was founded in 1979 by Catalan-Frenchman René Barbier, but the first Clos Mogador wine did not appear until 1989, when a joint release of a combined blend with nine other producers – released with 10 different labels – appeared to great acclaim.
