The entry-level wine of Clos Dominic, a family-run winery located in Porrera, DOQ Priorat, Clos Petó is a phenomenal value.
Basically a blend of Grenache and Carignan, this Spanish red wine also includes a portion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. All come from vines grown in Priorat's trademark steep slate slopes.
The grapes were harvested by hand. After finishing alcoholic fermentation, this Spanish red wine was aged for 14 months in 225-litre French oak barrels.
Finally, Clos Petó 2021 was gently filtered before bottling.
Decant this Crianza red wine a minimum of 30 minutes before drinking.
Like all wines from Clos Dominic, this Priorat red wine has some serious ageing potential.

---|---|
Nose | This blend of Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Merlot is deep and seductive. Complex aromas of red berries, tobacco, vanilla, cocoa and vegetables, combined with some hints of balsam, toast and mint over a deep mineral background. |
Palate | Bold and suggestive, this red wine from Clos Dominic has a remarkable complexity and a great freshness. Lively red and black fruit, some earthy and mineral hints and intimations of spices, flowers and undergrowth. Excellent acidity, mellow tannins and a long, smokey finish. |
Our personal opinion | Because of its corpulence, the savoury Clos Dominic Clos Petó 2021 needs to be matched with hearty dishes. |
