Decant 1 hour before drinking.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The white wine Clos Dominic Blanc is medium yellow with some amber and steely reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | First thing we notice is a subdued, intriguing earthiness, Priorat's trademark, nuanced by ever-growing aromas of citrus, peach and flowers. As it opens, this blend of White Grenache, Pedro Ximénez and Picapoll Blanc segues into aromas of spices, aniseed, petrol and menthol. Spellbinding. |
| Palate | Layered and intricate, with plenty of room for growth, this wine from bodega Clos Dominic has a savoury, dense passage through the palate. Neither oversweet nor syrupy, it has an exceptional acidity and a steely backbone. Spices are subdued, and fruit and minerality reign supreme. Precise and focused, with a very long finish and a deeply earthy and petrol-like remembrance. |
| Our personal opinion | A rare jewel, the wine Clos Dominic Blanc 2023 proves that white Priorat can be as good - perhaps even better - as red Priorat. |

Fabulous
Astounding white wine. Deeply mineral and self-assured, with a personality that combines a Riesling-like minerality with a Mediterranean splendor.
