Clos Bartolome Blanc Priorat

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.
