We don’t even know where to start with the Clos Mogador Gratallops 2021. Should we begin with the 98 points from Wine Advocate and Decanter, the 97 from James Suckling, or just how insanely good this wine is? Oh, and let’s not forget its massive historical significance — it’s the landmark wine that forever changed Priorat.
Rene Barbier is the man behind Clos Mogador. Rene fell in love with Priorat and Garnacha in 1979 when he decided to pursue the Clos Mogador project, planting Garnacha, Carinena, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in the Priorat hills. Clos Mogador shook the wine world when it was released and not only with the numerous 100 pts that it received, but also with its terrifying concentration! Since then and every single vintage it receives astronomical ratings and is for many one of the most iconic wines of Spain.
Its blend consists of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, which grow and ripen in the idyllic landscape of Priorat, with the exceptional microclimate. For winemaking, Rene follows the standards of the Grand Crus. The wine matures for 18 months in carefully selected barrels of 600 and 2000 liters. The wine is bottled ready to offer great emotions.
