Clos i Terrasses "Laurel" Priorat, Catalonia, Spain 2018

Roughly 75% Garnatxa (Garnacha), 20% Syrah, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Based largely on younger vines (on schist) and years of toil to establish the vineyard sites and properly farm them following organic and biodynamic principles.

Aged in large oak vats, concrete tanks, second and third fill French oak barrels, and clay amphorae, the complexity of the élevage is reflected in the wine, which always shows an ethereal and aromatic complexity, translucent ruby color, with red fruit more than black fruit character buttressed with subtle tannins.

A fresh and energetic wine that beautifully reflects the care taken to produce it.
