Warm, concentrated and spicy with a hint of pepper in the nose. A generous yet polished red, still fresh, with plum, mineral, coffee bean and licorice flavors that mingle seamlessly and finish gracefully, supported by well-integrated tannins.  Simply remarkable

Gorgeous little winery situated above an old manganese mine inactive since the Spanish civil war.  This gravity-powered winery has rehabilitated some of the mine’s tunnels to store its barrels for optimal ageing. With just 7 Has of precious old-vines, Clos Berenguer focuses on producing only extrordinary reserve wines worthy of carrying the Priorat appellation on their labels.
