Laurel

Laurel is the approachable cuvée from Clos i Terrasses, sourced from the terraces around Gratallops in DOQ Priorat. Made from old Garnacha vines rooted in poor, schist- and limestone-rich soils, this wine reflects the site’s identity: concentrated in character yet lifted by a floral freshness that makes the Priorat style lighter and more immediate.

In the glass Laurel shows a clear, bright cherry-red colour. The nose opens with floral accents, raspberry and ripe cherry, followed by subtle Mediterranean herbs and a gentle mineral undertone. On the palate the wine is lively and elegant: a fresh acidity carries the fruit, soft tannins provide structure, and the finish remains clean and inviting.

Vinification is restrained and terroir-focused: hand-harvested fruit, strict selection and slow, often spontaneous fermentations in small barrels and foudres. The use of amphorae and concrete vats alongside various wood formats achieves a fine balance of purity, texture and subtle complexity; bottling is carried out with minimal intervention to preserve aromatic integrity.

Serve Laurel lightly chilled at 14–16 °C. It pairs beautifully with grilled poultry, mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables and light stews, dishes that allow its mineral freshness and floral notes to shine.

Laurel will appeal to wine lovers seeking an accessible, terroir-driven Priorat: charming when young, with enough finesse to develop further over a few years.
