The 2022 Clos Figueras "Serras del Priorat" is a vibrant and approachable expression of Priorat, crafted from a blend of Garnacha, Carinena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the region’s iconic llicorella (slate) soils. Designed as the estate’s earlier-drinking cuvée, it captures the essence of Priorat with a fresher, fruit-driven and more accessible style.
The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and blackberry, layered with notes of caramel, vanilla and Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and lavender. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, juicy texture and soft tannins. Ripe red and dark fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and a distinct mineral backbone, leading to a long, clean and slightly savoury finish with a chalky edge.
The style is polished and fruit-forward, offering a more modern and approachable take on Priorat while retaining depth and terroir character. With around 7 months of oak aging, it gains subtle complexity without losing freshness, making it ideal for near-term enjoyment over the next 5–8 years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best entry points into Priorat for customers looking for a premium Spanish red with balance and approachability. Ideal for those who enjoy Rhône blends or fruit-forward wines with a mineral edge. This is not a heavy, overpowering wine - it’s about freshness, elegance and drinkability. Drink now or short-term cellar. Perfect with grilled meats, tapas or Mediterranean dishes.
