Description
We are massive fans of the wonderful Priorat red wines from Marco Abella. The Clos Abella is particularly impressive with a strikingly perfumed bouquet, encompassing a myriad of red and dark fruits, fresh flowers, oak spices and liquorice. The complex palate shows black cherry, minerals, spice and chocolate and manages to be both subtle yet dense and harmonious with silky tannins, good balance, and a long, fresh finish.
The 2013 was a memorable vintage for David Marco and his Clos Abella is an outstanding effort. The wine is drinking beautifully now (2026), yet has plenty of graceful ageing ahead of it. This vintage was a Decanter Magazine Platinum Medal winner, scoring 97 points from the expert panel – time in bottle proves that their decision was justified.
The Marco Abella family have been producing wines in the Priorat region since the 15th century, with David Marco returning to the region in the early noughties to breath new life into his ancestral vineyards. Marco Abella owns seven plots located on seven different mountains in the village of Porrera in the renowned wine growing region of Priorat. Clos Abella highlights the terroir of Marco Abella. The influence of the vineyard slate and the particular climate create a true expression of the terroir combined with flavour complexity and mature, balanced fruit.

Merlot
The Ca Marcanda Promis is a complex wine with an undeniable elegance. The nose is rich and concentrated, with blueberry, liquorice and cocoa hints. It starts fresh and then develops balsamic notes and scents of graphite, before becoming more mellow in character with a rhubarb and menthol note. The palate is voluminous with fine-grained and silky tannins on the finish.
