The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown in the steep and rocky vineyards of Priorat, which are known for their unique mineral-rich soils and Mediterranean climate. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruit. The wine is characterized by its vibrant acidity, rich texture, and long finish, making it a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Clos Figueras Font de La Figuera Priorat Blanco is a textbook example of a modern Priorat white.The nose offers up intense aromas of green apple, white peach, and citrus, all balanced by pleasingly herbal and floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and round yet with a crisp, tangy, mineral-laced acidity. The finish is long, with the green apple, herbal and mineral flavors lingering on. Enjoy this complex and balanced Priorat white now or cellar it for a few years to let the flavors further develop.
