WINE DESCRIPTION
Clos Mogador, situated in the rugged, hilly terrains of Priorat in Spain, is an iconic name synonymous with the renaissance and international acclaim of the region. The estate's commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices, coupled with the unique llicorella (slate) soils, contributes to wines of profound depth and minerality. "Nelin" is Clos Mogador's ode to the white wines of Priorat, primarily crafted from Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo, offering a beautifully complex yet refreshing perspective of this storied region.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Clos Mogador's Nelin Priorat presents a luminous golden hue.The aromatic profile is intriguing, with notes of ripe quince, orchard fruits, and fragrant white flowers, underpinned by hints of almond and a distinctive mineral character reminiscent of wet stones. On the palate, the wine strikes a balance between lushness and vibrancy, offering flavors of honeyed pear, lemon zest, and a touch of Mediterranean herb. The wine's texture is silky, yet it retains a crisp edge, courtesy of its underlying minerality and well-integrated acidity. The finish is long, with layers of fruit, floral nuances, and that unmistakable slate-driven minerality. An excellent companion to rich seafood dishes, creamy pastas, or poultry, Nelin showcases the elegance and complexity of white Priorat wines.
