Clos Figueras Serras del Priorat

An excellent Priorat wine, briefly aged in wood to achieve an expressive and young wine. In this very tasty new vintage, Clos Figueras decided to add Cabernet Sauvignon to add to the wine's aromatic complexity.

Along with the Grenache, the Samsó (Carignan) and the Syrah, the Cabernet Sauvignon adds the final piece to complete this great wine. The harvest is carried out by hand and after being selected on the sorting table, the grapes ferment in 25 hl vats with two treadings per day. After macerating for two weeks, the malolactic fermentation and ageing takes place in second use French oak barrels of 300 and 500 litre capacity. It ages for 7 months. Before being bottled it is lightly filtered. It is good to drink now but can also be drunk within the next 5 years. Serras del Priorat 2011, a wine which is excellent value for money, is a good way of getting to know Priorat.

Red wine Aged in wood. 7 months in French oak barrels used.
