Priorato is in the grip of a revolution with the slate hillsides of this rugged region in north-east Spain producing world-class wines. In the front ranks of these revolutionairies is Costers del Siurana where proprietor Carles Pastrana has built an outstanding reputation for his Clos de l’Obac family of wines over the last 35 years. The Carthusian monastic heritage of this distinctive and stark terroir is in good hands with Sr Pastrana and we are delighted to introduce his wines to Berry Bros. & Rudd.
Proprietor Carles Pastrana was one of the most important figures in Priorato in the 1980s and produces some of the region`s finest wines. Clos de l'Obac is his flagship wine, and is a blend of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. It is aged in new oak barriques for 12 months. It requires 10 years of bottle ageing to show at its best.
