Description
We were thrilled to see that the 2019 Clos Abella picked up a Platinum Medal in the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards, making it the top Spanish wine in the competition and also featuring in the top 100 wines worldwide in the competition.
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 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.

2023/24 Tempranillo, Clos de Lom, Valencia
Tempranillo
The Clos de Lom Tempranillo is a wonderful wine, deep red in colour with youthful purple hues. Intense and complex on the nose with hints of black fruits. The palate is fruit packed with more silky dark fruits and well-integrated ripe tannins. The finish is long and classy, and simply begs for another glass to be poured.

2021 Casa de las Monjas, Clos de Lom, DO Valencia
Monastrell
The Casa Las Monjas from Clos de Lom is made from 60 year old Monastrell (Mouvedre) vines grown organically in the mountains south east of Valencia. This delicious wine has a great depth and spiciness making it at once immediately appealing, yet capable of ageing further in bottle. Packed with dark fruits, hints of chocolate and spice mingling with herbal notes, this is the maiden release of this very limited wine. The wine was fermented in stainless steel, following a cold maceration for 10 - 15 days, and was then transferred to French oak barrels for 2 years. The wine rested for a further year in bottle prior to release.

2022 Rioja Garnacha, Bodega Alegre Valganon, DOCa Rioja
Grenache/Garnacha
This 100% Garnacha is elegant, refined and a perfect representation of the winemaking philosophy at Bodega Alegre Valganon. Medium-bodied with enticing red and dark fruit characters, including cherry and raspberries, alongside a whiff of wood and spice. The finish has well-integrated, delicate tannins and a beautiful lift. Complex yet approachable, this wonderful expression of Garnacha from the high altitude vineyards of Rioja Alta is a great wine to try if you have had enough of the big, gutsy modern styles packed with fruit and oak that have become very popular in recent years.
