"A true icon of the estate and now of the entire appellation: this bottle is a model of balance and elegance—available in limited quantities!"

"Their flagship wine, the 2022 Clos Mogador, sourced from a single vineyard, is a blend of grape varieties, primarily Grenache and Cariñena, but also a touch of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon [...] It has a very Mediterranean nose with abundant notes of dry hay and straw, the classic notes of wet slate—also very Priorat—and it has a round palate with very fine, chalky tannins. It is serious and harmonious, and seems relaxed, without any excess. It has 14% alcohol, with 5.4 grams of acidity and a very dry finish. None of the 2022s showed any heat or excessive ripeness. The alcohol is restrained and integrated, and the wines are balanced and harmonious, but with a more Mediterranean profile. [...] 2025–2038” (Robert Parker 2025)

About the wine:

Their flagship wine, the 2022 Clos Mogador, sourced from a single vineyard, was produced from a blend of grape varieties, primarily Grenache and Cariñena, but also a small amount of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon (less and less, as they are in the process of grafting most of them). It was fermented with 40% whole clusters and aged in 2,000- and 2,500-liter oak casks; some are old barrels, to avoid using too much new oak, and some batches finish their aging in concrete tanks for about 20 months. They have implemented some changes, moving to larger volumes and abandoning barrels in favor of casks (with the low volumes of 2024, the wine will be aged exclusively in casks). It has a very Mediterranean nose with abundant notes of dry hay and straw, the classic notes of wet slate—also very Priorat—and it has a round palate with very fine, chalky tannins. It is serious and harmonious, and seems relaxed, without any excess. It has 14% alcohol, with 5.4 grams of acidity and a very dry finish. None of the 2022 vintages showed excessive heat or ripeness. The alcohol is restrained and integrated, and the wines are balanced and harmonious, but with a more Mediterranean profile. 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024. 2025–2038

About the wine:

The woody notes are still somewhat pronounced, but this does not prevent the wine from expressing its full complexity and impressive depth. Graphite, roasted spices, and a medley of dried herbs and sweet cherries. It is round, almost full-bodied, and complex, with firm, refined tannins and a long finish. Best enjoyed starting in 2025.
