Clos Figueres’ flagship wine, made with Garnacha (60%) and Cariñena/Carignan (40%) from the estate’s oldest vines (80+ years old). Since 2009, winemaking is overseen by legendary Rhone vigneron and Syrah guru Alain Graillot (previous vintages included varying amounts of Syrah). Aged in French oak barrels for 14 months. Intense nose with aromas of dark fruit, prunes, smoky notes and Priorat’s classic mineral character. Full-bodied, smooth tannins. Balanced
