Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, from overripe, late-harvested grapes. Fermentation arrested to preserve the natural residual sweetness, followed by ageing in French oak.

Store the bottles lying down in a cool, dark place at a constant temperature of 12-14°C. Avoid light and vibration. Thanks to its higher sugar content, this wine will keep for several weeks after opening if stored chilled.

Clos de l'Obac

Priorat

In the late 1970s, the Tarragona journalist Carles Pastrana and his wife, oenologist Mariona Jarque, moved to the abandoned, steep slate slopes of Priorat. Together with, among others, René Barbier of Clos Mogador and Álvaro Palacios, they belonged to the legendary "five pioneers" who breathed new life into a region once worked by Carthusian monks but neglected for decades. Terraces were restored by hand, walls rebuilt and paths laid anew. The first harvest did not come until 1989, with the first bottle following shortly after. Clos de l'Obac was soon named one of the 150 best wines in the world by Slow Food's World Wine Guide. Today the second generation, Guillem and Iona Pastrana, shares the helm. Worth knowing: Clos de l'Obac still uses exactly the same grape composition and percentages as in the very first vintage. A true rarity in the world of wine.
