Wine Information:
The 2006 vintage in Priorat brings with it a balanced freshness that enlivens the ripe fruit and tannic structure for which Priorat is so well known. This bottling of Mogador exemplifies the 2006 vintage's drinkability and elegance.
Ageing takes place in 500 litre new French oak casks for one year with racking by gravity every three months. The Syrah is aged in vat to maintain the lively fresh fruit flavours. After blending of the different grape varieties the wine spends the second winter in vat. No stainless steel is used here, only fibreglass and wooden vats. The doors of the cellar are kept open in winter to encourage the precipitation of tartrates. Unfined and unfiltered, the wine is bottled in the spring or autumn of the second year after the harvest.
