Made with grapes from 50-80 year-old Grenache and Carignan vines. Unbelievable value from a region averaging $50/btl on the shelf. A delicious red with ripe fruit, plum and berry character with hints of citrus fruit undertones. Medium to full body, linear tannins. Drink now or hold. Ideal to pair with savory meats and hearty pasta dishes.
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 extraordinary reserve wines worthy of carrying the Priorat appellation on their labels.
