The wine is made from grapes grown in the Clos Abella vineyard, which is known for its unique terroir and high altitude. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Garnacha, Cariñena, and Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of black fruit, spices, and minerals. This wine is a perfect example of the Priorat style, which is characterized by its intensity, depth, and balance.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Marco Abella Clos Abella Selección Especial is a delightful red blend from the Empordà region of Catalonia in northern Spain.On the nose, it reveals an intense and complex bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, spices, and nuances of smoked wood and licorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-balanced, with a lively acidity, soft tannins, and a long and persistent finish. All in all, this is a truly exceptional wine that perfectly captures the terroir of Empordà.
