Terms & Conditions

Clos Abella is the flagship icon wine and ultimate expression of terroir crafted by prestigious winery Marco Abella in Porrera village under DOQ Priorat. Born from selected old-vine plots grown on steep pure licorella (slate) slopes at high altitude under organic and biodynamic farming, this wine is majestically led by Carignan's (Samsó) mineral power, structure, and herbal freshness alongside Grenache's rich fruitiness. Aged in new French oak barrels, Clos Abella is a monumental, deep, velvety, and aristocratic red wine built for magnificent bottle aging.

Narrative Tasting Note

In the glass, Clos Abella displays an impenetrable, deep cherry-red color of maximum density with elegant violet and garnet highlights. The nose immediately unfolds a majestic, complex, and fascinating aromatic journey: intense ripe dark fruit and preserve aromas —such as wild blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, and dried plums— emerge harmoniously intertwined with pure cocoa, dark chocolate notes, cigar box, graphite, fine oak toast, and a distinctive cold licorella slate and Mediterranean garrigue herb undertone. On the palate, it delivers an imposing, warm entry with a surprisingly velvety texture; its mid-palate is opulent, structured, and fleshy, featuring ultra-fine tannins balanced by lively saline acidity bringing freshness. An extraordinarily long, persistent, mineral, and delightful finish leaves an unforgettable echo of dark fruit preserves and heroic terroir.

Groundbreaking & Unexpected Gastronomic Pairings

Sea Bass Tartare with local strawberries, fennel oil, and sea asparagus

A fresh, fruity seafood pairing. Melty raw white fish texture and sweet-tart strawberry notes match surprisingly well with this wine's crisp fruitiness, spicy Carignan, and salinity.

Braised Oxtail Brioche with citrus aioli and mustard sprouts

Haute-bistro harmony and character. Traditional stew richness finds its ideal refreshing counterpoint in Carignan and Grenache's agile acidity and polished tannins.

Raw Milk Aged Sheep Cheese with prune compote and walnuts

A refined, delicious tapas option. Lactic cheese strength and sweet prune notes highlight floral touches and slate minerality in Clos Abella.
