Clos Galena en Estuche Premium
CLOS GALENA, with a purple tinge offers an aromatic profile but is a large-scale wine bordering on opulence. Rich, layered with plenty of structure, this hedonistic effort will evolve over 5 to 7 years. Robert Parker
Production: Rigorous manual selection of the grapes, from five of our fourteen plots of organic vineyards, based on the type of soil and the adaptation of the strain to it. Fermentation and maceration of each variety take place separately, in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, a gentle pressing of the skins is carried out, followed by malolactic fermentation. Finally, the different varieties are blended before being placed in barrels.
Ageing: 12 months in new French oak barrels. And 24 months of rest in bottle.
Tasting Notes: Clos Galena is a wine with an intense cherry colour, almost opaque and highly complex, very elegant and mature. In this wine, we tried to extract all the potential of the terroir so characteristic of Priorat in each vineyard plot, separately to show its own individuality. Its aromatic breadth stands out, clean and elegant, with predominance of spices, especially black ones, which blend with ripe fruit. Minerality is also combined with balsamic notes. On the palate, it is a very complex, intense, voluminous and long wine. All this contributes to making this a fleshy, fresh and long wine.
Pairing: Rice and pasta, poultry, white meat, red meat, game, sausages, cold cuts, meat stews, eggs, pâtés, foie, blue fish, aged cheeses, vegetables.
