The 2023 Clos Figueras "Serras del Priorat Blanco" is a distinctive white wine from Spain’s prestigious Priorat region, crafted primarily from Garnacha Blanca with complementary local varieties. Sourced from slate-rich ("llicorella") soils and high-altitude vineyards, it reflects a rare white expression of Priorat - combining richness, minerality and freshness in a terroir-driven style.
The nose is expressive and aromatic, revealing notes of citrus, green apple and pear, layered with white flowers and subtle tropical hints. A mineral, stony character typical of Priorat emerges alongside gentle herbal and lightly oaked nuances. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a textured, slightly creamy mouthfeel balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and a touch of almond are supported by a pronounced mineral backbone, leading to a long, fresh and elegant finish.
The style is rich yet precise - less common for Priorat whites - offering both immediate drinkability and the ability to develop additional complexity over the next 4–6 years. It combines Mediterranean ripeness with a structured, mineral-driven profile.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers looking to explore white wines from traditionally red-focused regions like Priorat. Ideal for those who enjoy Rhône whites or fuller-bodied Chardonnay with a mineral edge. This is not a light, simple white - it’s about texture, terroir and complexity. Drink now or short-term cellar. Perfect with seafood, grilled fish, poultry or Mediterranean dishes.
