Red dry
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.
Serve at 16-18 °C with grilled or roasted red meats, mature cheese, Iberian ham.
The eponymous red 2021 Clos Mogador fermented with some 30% full clusters trying to give it more freshness (but without noticing the stems) with a long maceration (40 to 50 days) and (almost) no punching down, with less extraction. There's been a progressive change in the vineyard (they removed the south-facing Cabernet Sauvignon), and they increased Cariñena (around 30%), which in the future will be almost as much as Garnacha. It has aromatic complexity and a beautiful texture. It matured in 2,000-liter oak foudres and a small part in barrel and later in concrete. The wine has 14% alcohol and has the Priorat, Mogador and Mediterranean character (wet slate, graphite, aromatic herbs) with more elegance and freshness. The tannins are also a lot more elegant, and the wine comes through as very balanced. They produced 35,000 bottles of this. It was bottled in June 2023.
Clos Mogador is one of the most respected and influential wineries in Spain, located in the renowned Priorat DOQ region. Founded by the celebrated winemaker René Barbier, Clos Mogador not only elevated the global reputation of Priorat wines but also became a symbol of the region’s modern revival.
Clos Mogador is rooted in natural winemaking, a deep connection to the land, and profound respect for nature. René Barbier was one of the so-called “Priorat revolutionaries” — a group of visionary winemakers who, in the 1980s, revived a nearly forgotten region and proved that world-class wines could be produced there.
