2012 Clos Mogador Nelin Blanco

This great white wine comes from Rene Barbier. It is a blend of mainly white Grenache and Macebo and comes from a small vineyard of 5.8 hectares divided into 4 plots and 5200 bottles are made from this. The grapes have had 12 months of education with natural yeasts of the grapes in oak barrels of 12000 liters (foudres) and then another 6 months in stainless steel and then another 6-12 months of bottle aging. In the coming years, this white wine will release completely with notes of honey, minerals and spring flowers. Spicy, velvety, nutty and complex with a great aftertaste. One of the few real white storage wines that only gets more beautiful, spicier and mineral with age. Nice tannins and a pleasant bitterness in the aftertaste. Famous and very scarce. The Nelin from the Priorat was made by the quirky Frenchman Rene Barbier, who is also the maker of the now cult wines Clos Mogador, Manyettes and Espectacle. These are also available at Grandcruwijnen

At Clos Mogador they have chosen to give their red Clos Mogador and white Nelin a longer bottle aging.
