About this wine

Clos Fontà comes from old Garnatxa and Carinyena vines on classic llicorella slate at altitude, farmed organically and biodynamically. The 2018 vintage shows pristine red and black fruits, Mediterranean scrub, violet, smoke and deep, slate-driven minerality. It’s full-bodied yet not heavy, with polished tannins and a long, savoury, balsamic-tinged finish. This is a top-tier, age-worthy Priorat.

Mas d’en Gil

Mas d’en Gil is a historic estate in the heart of Priorat, combining old-vine Garnacha and Carinyena with Mediterranean herbs and llicorella (slate) soils. Their wines balance the region’s natural richness with freshness and minerality, moving away from heaviness toward depth, finesse and length. Expect dark fruit, spice and a clear sense of place.
