{"product_id":"clos-mogador-2006","title":"Clos Mogador 2006","description":"\u003cp\u003eClos Mogador 2006 is a benchmark Priorat from one of Spain’s most influential estate producers. Built from a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, it captures the region’s dramatic power, mineral intensity and remarkable concentration, shaped by the heat, poor soils and low yields of this rugged landscape. Clos Mogador also carries historical significance as one of the wines that helped place Priorat back on the international fine-wine map.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a deep, dark garnet color with impressive density. The nose is layered and complex, offering ripe black fruits, plum, Mediterranean herbs, graphite, spice, and earthy mineral tones, with the oak likely now woven into the wine’s tertiary development.\n\nThe palate is full-bodied and structured, with concentrated dark berries, licorice, tobacco, savory herbs and stony minerality. Despite its power, Clos Mogador is known for balance and freshness, especially in a vintage like 2006 where the wine has had time to evolve. It should be drinking beautifully now, though well-stored bottles may continue to develop for several more years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from non-irrigated vineyards in Priorat, a small but demanding region in Catalonia south of Barcelona, where extreme summer heat, cool nights and very limited rainfall force the vines deep into the region’s poor soils. This natural stress limits yields and produces highly concentrated fruit. Clos Mogador follows René Barbier’s philosophy of making the vines work hard, with hand-harvested fruit and careful vinification aimed at preserving intensity, structure and the character of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for grilled lamb, slow-roasted beef, game, braised short ribs, or richly flavored Catalan dishes. It also works well with aged Manchego and other mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours to allow the aromatics and structure to open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos Mogador is the family estate of René Barbier, one of the pioneering figures behind Priorat’s modern renaissance. After studying in Burgundy and Bordeaux and working in prestigious settings such as Petrus, Barbier purchased the Clos Mogador vineyard in 1979 and helped define the region’s reputation for serious, world-class wines. Today, the estate is regarded as one of Priorat’s most iconic producers, with René Barbier Jr. continuing the winemaking legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Mogador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122430222578,"sku":"FW-494","price":134.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/ren_barbier_clos_mogador_2013_0_75_1_1_1_2.png?v=1777475998","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/clos-mogador-2006","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
