Definitively riper, more concentrated and oakier, the 2013 Clos Abella is the top of the range. It's produced with 70% Cari?ena and 30% Garnacha from younger and older vines in Porrera. It fermented in oak vat and barriques and aged in French barriques, 30% of them new, which obviously marked the wine with plenty of oak aromas and flavors and especially a texture from the tannins. It's a powerful, well-oaked and modern version of Priorat. For fans of the style. 7,500 bottles and 20 magnums were filled in March 2016.

The top of the range is the 2012 Clos Abella, produced since the family returned to Priorat in 2000. It's a selection of grapes from three vineyards in Porrera, some 70% Cari?ena and the rest Garnacha from vines that are 18 years old. Fermentation was carried out in one oak vat and 20 to 30 closed barriques. Once fermentation finished the wine was transferred to French oak barrels, 70% of them new, where it aged for some 20 to 21 months. It felt a little musty and intensely oaky, with notes of dill and vanilla over a core of ripe blackberries. The palate felt oakier, with some herbal and bitter flavors and a very dry, slightly harsh finish. For fans of oaky reds. 7,900 bottles and 100 magnums were produced.

This thick and juicy red delivers ripe flavors of blackberry, plum pudding, cola and spice, supported by firm tannins and balsamic acidity. Muscular but expressive. Drink now through 2020. 58 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
