The 2021 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 slate ("llicorella") soils. Designed as the estate’s earlier-drinking cuvée, it captures the essence of Priorat with a fresher, more fruit-forward and accessible style.
The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and subtle floral notes, layered with hints of Mediterranean herbs, vanilla and a distinctive mineral edge. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, juicy texture and soft, round tannins. Fresh red and dark fruit flavours are balanced by lively acidity, leading to a long, clean and gently savoury finish with classic Priorat minerality.
The style is fruit-driven and polished, offering a more approachable take on Priorat while still retaining depth and structure. A short period of aging in used French oak enhances texture without masking the wine’s freshness, making it ideal for near-term drinking while still capable of evolving over the next few years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic entry point into Priorat for customers looking for the region’s signature intensity in a more approachable and versatile style. Ideal for those who enjoy Rhône blends or Spanish reds with balance and freshness. This is not a heavy, overly powerful wine - it’s about fruit, minerality and drinkability. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with grilled meats, tapas or Mediterranean dishes.
