The 2020 Clos Figueras "Clos Figueres" is a flagship Priorat red, crafted from old-vine Garnacha and Carinena grown on the region’s iconic llicorella (slate) soils. Sourced from high-altitude terraces around Gratallops, it reflects the hallmark intensity, minerality and structure that define top wines from this prestigious DOQ appellation.
The nose is expressive and complex, revealing layers of blackberry, blueberry and ripe plum, intertwined with notes of Mediterranean herbs, spice and a distinctive mineral edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with a rich, smooth texture and fine-grained tannins. Concentrated red and dark fruit flavours are balanced by freshness and a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long, structured and elegant finish with subtle smoky and savoury nuances.
The style is powerful yet polished - classic Priorat - with depth, finesse and excellent aging potential. The 2020 vintage shows slightly more elegance compared to earlier years, while still retaining the structure to evolve over 15–20+ years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Priorat for customers seeking a bold, mineral-driven red with both power and refinement. Ideal for those who enjoy Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône blends or premium Spanish reds. This is not a simple fruit-forward wine - it’s about structure, terroir and aging potential. Best decanted if drinking young or cellar long-term. Perfect with grilled steak, lamb, game or rich, slow-cooked dishes.
