The history of Clos Figueras is closely linked to the renaissance of a once-forgotten wine region, the DOC (Denominacion de Origen Calificada) Priorat in the Catalonia region of Spain. The Clos Figueras project was born in 1997. Inspired by Rene Barbier, founder of the “Priorat revolution” and owner of the famous Clos Mogador, the couple Charlotte and Christopher Cannan decided to purchase 10 hectares of abandoned vineyards north of the village of Gratallops, nicknamed "Les Figueres". The property was named Clos Figueras after the two old fig trees once present on the property. Today, Clos Figueras oversees an 18-hectare vineyard with an exceptional terroir.
Once in the winery, a second grape selection is made. Vertical press with soft pressing. Fermentation in 1000 litre stainless steel tanks controlling the temperature. 6 months aging in stainless steel tank.
Tasting Notes: Pale yellow white wine with green highlights that denotes youth. Clean and bright. Fresh in the mouth with great balance, showing refreshing hints of pears and yellow fruit including peaches and apricots. A touch of minerality on a bright long finish.
