The wines from Priorat have been quietly stunning the wine world and it's exciting to see more and more of them on the market. Clos Figueras has become an iconic winery in the Priorat region, crafting beautiful terroir-driven wines that should be in everyone's collections. Clos Figueras lies nestled in the terraced slopes north of Gratallops. The soil here is pure schist and the secret sauce that gives Priorat its unique mineral profile. Christopher Cannan purchased his property in 1997 on the recommendation from the force behind Clos Mogador. This region is renowned for producing the best wines in Priorat. Today, Christopher's daughter, Anne, has taken over as owner and winemaker of the estate and its gorgeous wines.
The 2021 Clos Figueras Serras del Priorat Tinto is the perfect bottle to get your feet wet before diving into the higher end of Priorat wines. This bottle is a blend of Garnacha, Carignan, Syrah, and Cabernet that is young and juicy. The palate is bursting with bright red fruits and classic Priorat flavors of red cherry, ripe plum, pomegranate, dark chocolate shavings, and undertones of Mediterranean herbs. The finish has that quintessential dusty Priorat crushed gravel minerality with just a touch of licorice on the long finish.
The young and juicy red 2021 Serras del Priorat is a blend of Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon produced in an approachable way. It has a soft palate and round tannins achieved through maturing it in used 300- and 500-liter French oak barrels for seven months. It's fruit-driven, with ripe fruit and 14.5% alcohol, keeping good freshness and balance.
