The 2019 Clos Figueras "Clos Figueres" is a flagship Priorat red, crafted from old-vine Garnacha and Carinena grown on the region’s iconic slate ("llicorella") soils. This prestigious DOQ Priorat wine reflects the power, concentration and mineral character that have made the region one of Spain’s most highly regarded appellations.
The nose is intense and layered, revealing aromas of blackberry, blueberry and plum, intertwined with notes of licorice, spice, graphite and subtle smoky oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with a dense yet polished texture and ripe, structured tannins. Concentrated dark fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone, leading to a long, complex and elegant finish with hints of cocoa and herbs.
The 2019 vintage shows both richness and balance, shaped by warm, dry conditions that enhance ripeness while retaining freshness. The style is bold, structured and age-worthy - classic Priorat - with the ability to evolve over 15–20+ years while already offering impressive depth and intensity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Spanish red for customers seeking a powerful, mineral-driven wine with serious aging potential. Ideal for those who enjoy Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Ribera del Duero or bold Rhône blends. This is not a light wine - it’s about concentration, structure and terroir expression. Best decanted if drinking young or cellar long-term. Perfect with grilled steak, lamb, game or rich, slow-cooked dishes.
