Clos Mogador Rosat 2021 (750ML)

94 WA / 94 JS

The rosé 2021 Gratallops Vi de Villa Rosat was produced with a majority (70% to 80%) in the Planassos part between Mogador and Manyetes of Garnacha, Macabeo and Cariñena plus the grapes from younger vines (Mogador, Nelin...). It has a bright salmon color and a very different and characterful nose, savory, reminiscent of chicken broth (salty!), herbal and super tasty. It's quite direct, with 13.5% alcohol and very good freshness, a bit atypical for Priorat, very long, precise, clean and dry. This matured in a 2,000-liter 10-year-old oak foudre for 18 months. They produced some 3,000 bottles. Brilliant! - Luiz Gutierrez, Wine Advocate

Very reductive now. White sesame, grapefruit and some stones on the nose. A dry, full-bodied rosado here with a lot of substance. Long and broad finish. 50% garnacha, 30% macabeo and 20% carignan pressed directly and co-fermented. 18 months in old foudres. A rosado that will age well. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
