Clos Mogador 2019

A sophisticated and intense Priorat red wine by Clos Mogador

The producer

An iconic name among the finest Priorat wines, Clos Mogador’s roots date back to the 12th century. The estate started a new chapter in its story when Isabelle and René Barbier acquired this then neglected terroir in 1979, their goal being to restore this Spanish vineyard to its former glory. The couple decided to name their estate "le Clos Mogador" as a tribute to Elisabeth Barbier, René Barbier's aunt and renowned author of the famous book "Les gens de Mogador".

A pioneer, René Barbier produces rare wines that magnify the mineral and fruity expression of Priorat.
