2018 Clos Mogador, Manyetes & 2018 Vall Llach Porrera Vi de Vila - Priorat - 2 Bottles (0.75L)
- Clos Mogador Manyetes 2018:
97/100 Robert Parker: "The pure Cariñena 2018 Manyetes is now a Vi de Paratge, not only a village wine as in the past, in the new classification of the Priorat wines. 2018 was a cooler and wetter year, quite a contrast after the warm and dry 2017, and the wine has very good acidity. The vineyard is farmed organically (certified), the grapes have a slow fermentation with long macerations, and the wine matured in 50/50 barriques and foudres for 18 months. The wine is not as concentrated as it has been in some warmer years; it's definitely fresher, following in the line of the 2016, the wine with more marked minerality, black stones, graphite and wet slate. This has abundant tannins and some earthy sensations. It's a powerful wine with some rusticity and a strong personality. Like many wines, this should develop nicely in bottle. 3,500 bottles were filled in June 2020".
Manyetes is the name of a vineyard in Gratallops, almost 400 meters in the most inhospitable Priorat part. A daring venture where vines can barely survive given the poor soil of the region, the intense sunlight and the bleak exposure. The vines are quite literally at the extreme of survival, however, this is exactly what gives rise to the principal essence of Priorat!
100% "Carinyena" wine from a very old vineyard that is farmed organically (certified), the grapes have a slow fermentation with long macerations, and the wine matured in 50/50 cask and 'foudres' for 18 months. This is the brother of the more famous 'Clos Mogador', but this is mainly because only 3.500 bottles were made.
- Vall Llach 2018 Porrera Vi de Vila: Only 2.540 bottles produced.
75% Carignan & 25% Grenache. Produced from a few very old slate of Carignan plots exceeding one hundred years that define the personality of this grape in the village of Porrera. The "Porrera Vi de Vila" designation highlights the unique characteristics of its terroir. Aged for 14 months in 300 l. barriques of light and medium-toasted fine-grained new French oak and foudre of 2nd year.
