The 2020 Clos Figueras “Font de la Figuera” is a refined and approachable Priorat red, offering a more accessible expression of the estate’s iconic style. Crafted primarily from Garnacha and Cariñena with a touch of international varieties, it comes from younger vines grown on the region’s signature llicorella (slate) soils, delivering both fruit intensity and mineral character.
The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and plum, layered with notes of Mediterranean herbs, spice and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and fine tannins. Juicy red and dark fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a clean, elegant and slightly savoury finish.
The style is polished and approachable for a Priorat, combining depth with drinkability, making it ideal for earlier enjoyment while still capable of short to mid-term aging over the next 5–8 years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great entry point into Priorat for customers who want the region’s signature richness and minerality in a more approachable style. Ideal for those who enjoy Rhône blends or Spanish reds but want something smoother and versatile. This is not a heavy, overpowering wine—it’s about balance, fruit and elegance. Drink now or over the next few years. Perfect with grilled meats, tapas or Mediterranean dishes.
