The 2021 Clos Figueras “Font de la Figuera” is a refined and approachable Priorat red, offering a fresher and more accessible expression of this prestigious Spanish region. Crafted from a blend of Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on the region’s iconic llicorella (slate) soils, it combines ripe fruit intensity with mineral precision and elegance.
The nose is aromatic and complex, revealing layers of wild red and dark berries—cherry, raspberry and plum—interwoven with notes of Mediterranean herbs, graphite, spice and subtle toasted oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a fresh, balanced profile. Juicy fruit flavours are supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, with a distinct mineral backbone that leads to a long, elegant and slightly savoury finish.
The style is polished and expressive, combining the power of Priorat with a more approachable, food-friendly character. The 2021 vintage shows excellent balance and finesse, making it enjoyable now while still capable of aging over the next 8–12 years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great entry point into Priorat for customers who want the region’s signature intensity and minerality in a more elegant, drinkable style. Ideal for those who enjoy Rhône blends or structured Spanish reds but prefer something smoother and more versatile. This is not a heavy, overpowering wine—it’s about balance, freshness and terroir expression. Drink now or over the next few years. Perfect with grilled meats, lamb or Mediterranean dishes.
