Aging

Tasting Notes
Clos Galena is a wine with an intense cherry color, almost opaque and highly complex, very elegant and mature. In this wine, we try to extract all the potential of the terroir so characteristic of Priorat in each vineyard plot, separately to show its own individuality. Its aromatic, clean and elegant breadth stands out, predominantly spices, especially black ones, which blend with ripe fruit. The minerality is also combined with the balsamic ones. In the mouth, it is a very complex, intense, voluminous and long wine. All this contributes to making this a meaty, fresh and long wine.

Galena is a wine with an intense cherry red color, where we want to express what our territory is. This has an important and always present mineral component, which provides freshness. It presents a remarkable aromatic complexity and a great wealth of nuances, where balsamic aromas and dried black fruits predominate, as well as jams, with light touches of black spices. On the palate it is very fatty and fresh, with a powerful but soft first attack, highlighting the aromas of black spices and minerality.
