Vintage Report
The 2021 vintage in Priorat is characterized by excellent quality with a score of 92 points. Nevertheless, the results are considered inconsistent, even among the region's best producers.
Priorat is a relatively recent discovery in Spanish wine. Until a few decades ago, it was primarily Rioja, La Mancha, and Catalunya that gained prominence. Since then, Spanish winemaking has become a global leader, and many smaller wine regions have achieved international recognition. One of the top wines is undoubtedly Priorat. However, it's primarily the red wines from Priorat that are making waves, and due to their sky-high popularity, they are extremely scarce. White wines from Priorat are even rarer, which is why we have a true jewel in our hands with this Clos Bartolome Blanc Priorat.
The wines of Clos Bartolome
Priorat is traditionally dry, barren, and resource-poor. A bone-dry region where, at first glance, viticulture seemed impossible. However, several local winegrowers decided to invest in their vineyards, and combined with modern techniques, viticulture suddenly became quite feasible. Thanks to the challenging conditions within the Priorat, the wines have a distinct character. Originally, the area was primarily planted with red grape varieties, but some true daredevils decided to give white varieties a try—Celler Bartolome being one of them.Buy Clos Brartolome Blanc Priorat wine
Clos Bartolome Blanc Priorat is a fine blend of 45% Grenache and 55% Macabeo. Despite the recent discovery of Priorat wines, the vines are sometimes up to 70 years old, a remarkably long age. This emphasizes Clos Bartolome's experience in the Priorat region. Clos Bartolome Blanc Priorat is a fine wine that any wine lover will delight in. A floral character combines with white peach, soft herbs, and a hint of fennel. The Grenache Blanc has clearly left its mark on Clos Bartolome Blanc Priorat.Product details
