Gran Clos del Priorat
In Priorat, where slate slopes fold toward the sun, Gran Clos del Priorat offers a modern reading of the DOQ’s raw intensity. Founded in 1995, the estate revived old Garnacha and Cariñena parcels around Bellmunt del Priorat—steep terraces, meagre soils, serious intent.
Black llicorella stores heat, yet altitude and cool nights keep acidity and line. Hand harvesting, severe selection and an élevage chosen for clarity—often large wood, sometimes more reductive handling—let the vineyard lead, not the cellar.
Work here is resolutely parcel-driven: low yields, thick skins, slow fermentations that build tannin architecture step by step. Olive and almond groves around the vines sharpen the sense of Mediterranean place. The result isn’t a shout, but a vertical landscape—stony, focused, and quietly powerful in the way only old vines can be.Gran Clos del Priorat
