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. Published: May 16, 2024

Founded in 1979, the 20ha Clos Mogador lies at 350m altitude, surrounded by mountains up to 1,200m. The vines here grow on black slate (licorella) soils. When René Barbier arrived in Priorat, its wines were barely known. His hand was a pioneer in the area, successfully betting on reclaiming and elevating the uniqueness of this land. There, like an immense licorella amphitheater, stands the Clos Mogador vineyard, bathed at its feet by the beautiful Moorish stories of the Siurana River. In this legendary terroir, a legendary wine is born , made following the tradition of French grands crus . It is a work of craftsmanship and limited production - difficult to find on the market - bottles full of emotion and generosity that must be uncorked with time and a certain amount of reflection before being transported by its aromas and flavors.
