Clos Galena, Priorat, Catalonia, Spain, 2013

From five plots of organic vineyards. Each variety is vinified separately in stainless steel before blending and racking into new French oak barrels for 12 months and then a further 24 months in bottle. There is a lifted prune nose with a pretty floral note. The palate is quite rich, showing powerful cherry, date and violet flavours and a woody structure accompanied by peppery spice. There is a minty, alcohol warmth on the finish.
