The Clos Martinet opens with intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and ripe plum layered with notes of licorice, crushed slate, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, offering dark fruit flavors supported by firm yet polished tannins. Fresh acidity provides balance and lift, keeping the wine focused despite its power. Savory notes of graphite, spice, and earth emerge through the mid-palate. The finish is long, structured, and mineral-driven, with excellent aging potential.

The Estate

Mas Martinet is one of the founding estates of Priorat’s modern renaissance, established by Sara Pérez and José Luis Pérez in the early 1980s. The winery is known for its deep commitment to terroir expression, sustainable farming, and minimal-intervention winemaking. Clos Martinet is the estate’s flagship wine, representing the soul and history of the property.

Wine Making

Fruit is sourced from old-vine parcels planted on Priorat’s iconic llicorella slate soils, which contribute structure and mineral tension. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, followed by aging in a combination of French oak barrels and larger neutral vessels to balance fruit purity with complexity. Extraction is carefully managed to preserve finesse and freshness. The wine is bottled with minimal intervention to reflect its vineyard origins.

Food Suggestions

This Priorat pairs exceptionally well with grilled or braised meats such as lamb, beef short ribs, or game. Its structure and depth also complement hearty stews, roasted vegetables, and dishes featuring mushrooms or smoky spices. For cheese, pair with aged sheep’s milk or firm Spanish cheeses to match the wine’s intensity.
