"There are some places in Priorat that can yield wines of exceptional flavor when bottled individually. This is the case with Paratge Manyetes in Gratallops, crafted by Clos Mogador as Manyetes. The 2021 Manyetes is 100% Cariñena, aged for up to 18 months in oak barrels, demijohns and stoneware jars. This purple-hued wine reveals enticing aromas of sour cherry and wild herbs, along with dusty, balsamic notes. Dry and chalky on the palate, it offers an intense, flavorful experience that lingers with a lean, vibrant and silky texture. This distinctive wine has a reductive character and a lasting, complex finish."

Founded in 1979 by René Barbier III and his wife, Isabelle Meyer, Clos Mogador was part of a new wave of ‘Clos’ wineries that released their first joint 1989 vintage to great acclaim. They have gone on to garner impressive scores by wine critics and have built up one of the most well-known brands in all of Priorat.
René Barbier III is descended from a family of French winemakers although he was born in Tarragona and grew up in Catalonia. Coming with his wife Isabelle Meyer and their young children to the Priorat region, he found a promising wine region that had been neglected for years.
In addition to their namesake Clos Mogador, they released a white wine called Nelin as well as another red called, Manyetes. The Clos Mogador was one of the first wines to be awarded the ‘Vi de Finca’ certification in Catalonia which signifies that it has been produced for over a decade from the same, single vineyard.
The name of the winery comes from ‘Les Gens de Mogador’ (The people of Mogador) which chronicles the rise and fall of a family from near Avignon in France on an imaginary estate called, Mogador and closely parallels the Barbier family history.
