| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nIntense color, medium body, purple, clean and bright. Primary aromas of red fruit and subtle floral touches. Notes of minerality, vanilla and Mediterranean herbs.\r\nFresh and wide entry in the mouth, long finish. It stands out for having round and soft tannins, a balanced acidity and a pleasant freshness.\r\nFood Pairings -\u00a0 appetizers, barbecue, pasta, rice, grilled vegetables and healthy salads.\r\nRobert Parker 91 Points \r\nBlend - Garnacha, Cari\u00f1ena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon\r\nAbout Clos Figueras\r\nChristopher Cannan purchased Clos Figueres in 1997 on the advice of Ren\u00e9 Barbier of Clos Mogador. The vineyards cover some 10 hectares. There are about 2500 old Carignan and Grenache vines planted more than 20 years ago for the Clos Figueres label. The remainder, about 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, some Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourv\u00e8dre were planted in 1998 and are used for the production of Font de la Figuera. The location is just to the north of Gratallops on terraced slopes of pure schist, the soil responsible for the finest wines of Priorat. From these high terraces, the views are wonderful.in one direction the famous Ermita vineyard and the craggy Montsant mountain range behind it; in the other a long-distance vista featuring the Ebro Valley and more mountains beyond.\r\nRen\u00e9 Barbier's team takes care of the vineyards as well as the vinification and ageing of the wines. Clos Figueres now ranks with the best of Priorat, while the second wine, Font de la Figuera, represents remarkable value for the region. Recently, they have also launched production of a unique and exciting white Priorat, based on rich Garnacha Blanca, with 10% Viognier to add lift and aromatic complexity. |
