Description
We were thrilled to see that the 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.

2019 Sao Expressiu, Mas Blanc i Jove, DO Costers del Segre
Red Blend
The Sao Expressiu is an intense, concentrated and complex blend of predominantly Garnatxa with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah playing a supporting role. Red and dark fruits mingle with balsamic notes and herbal undertones. The palate is full and deep yet remains fresh courtesy of some lovely integrated acidity. Although approachable after a decent decant and breathing, this terrific wine will continue to age gracefully for years to come.
