The 2013 Marco Abella Clos Abella is a stunning showcase of Priorat’s ancient terroir and winemaking artistry. As the flagship of Marco Abella, it represents the heart and soul of this exceptional winery, delivering a wine that is both elegant and profoundly expressive.
With a commitment to low-yield farming and a profound respect for nature, Marco Abella captures the rugged beauty of Priorat in every bottle.
The Clos Abella is crafted from 70% Carignan and 30% Grenache, sourced from the estate’s iconic El Perer vineyard, perched at 450–550 metres. Grapes are micro-vinified in small lots before fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels. This meticulous process, combined with the vineyard’s north-facing aspect and mineral-rich slate soils, creates a wine of remarkable depth, complexity, and longevity.
Pairing Suggestions: Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, wild game, tuna tataki, hearty stews, or dark chocolate desserts.
Tasting Note: Intense aromas of blackberries, cocoa, and orange peel, with hints of anise and balsamic. The palate is velvety, with fine tannins and a fresh, mineral-driven finish.
