About this Wine

Clos Figueras - Serras del Priorat Blanco is a distinguished white wine from the renowned Clos Figueras winery, located in the heart of Spain's Priorat region. Known primarily for its exceptional red wines, Clos Figueras also produces a white wine that highlights the terroir’s ability to create wines of depth, complexity, and remarkable elegance. The Serras del Priorat Blanco is an expression of the Priorat region’s unique slate-rich soils and Mediterranean climate, designed to showcase the potential of the white grape varieties grown in this rugged, challenging terrain.

The Serras del Priorat Blanco is a blend of Grenache Blanc (Garnacha Blanca) and Macabeo (Viura), two varieties that thrive in the region's dry, sunny climate and contribute to the wine’s richness, freshness, and aromatic complexity. The grapes come from old vines planted in the estate’s highest and most exposed vineyards, which give the wine its unique minerality and balance. After fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in French oak barrels for several months, adding complexity and texture while preserving its freshness.

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
