This Manyetes opens with intense aromas of red and black cherry, raspberry, and plum layered with floral notes, graphite, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet precise, with concentrated fruit balanced by vibrant acidity. Fine, structured tannins provide depth and longevity. Mineral and smoky undertones reflect the slate soils. The finish is long, elegant, and complex with lingering spice and freshness.

Garnacha grape blend.

 

The Estate

Clos Mogador, founded by René Barbier, is one of the pioneering estates responsible for elevating Priorat to world-class status. The estate focuses on biodynamic farming and expressing the rugged, slate-rich terroir of the region. “Manyetes” is a single-vineyard wine that highlights old-vine Garnacha grown on schist soils, offering a more lifted and refined expression of Priorat.

Wine Making

Grapes are sourced from old Garnacha vines planted on steep, slate-rich (llicorella) soils. Farming is biodynamic, emphasizing vineyard health and terroir expression. Fermentation is carried out with minimal intervention to preserve purity. Aging typically occurs in French oak barrels, carefully integrated to enhance structure without overpowering the fruit. The 2021 vintage shows balance, precision, and aging potential.

Food Suggestions

This Priorat pairs beautifully with lamb, grilled steak, and slow-braised meats. It also complements game dishes and rich Mediterranean cuisine. Ideal for cellaring or pairing with elevated, protein-driven dishes.
