Clos Figueras

Clos Figueras winery is located in the center of the town of Gratallops in the Spanish province of Tarragona. Clos Figueras winery has a fantastic 300-year-old underground cellar that creates the perfect conditions for the aging of the wines in French oak barrels.

The Domaine was purchased in 1997 by Christopher Cannan and his wife Charlotte, partly inspired by the famous Rene Barbier (Clos Mogador). The estate is located in the heart of the Priorat, in the village of Gratallops. The bottom consists of slate (or licorella), which is the secret behind the beautiful minerality in the wine. All vineyards are planted on ancient terraces that are difficult to reach. Today Christopher is advised by Alain Graillot (famous from the Rhône Valley) resulting in wines with finesse and elegance. The mountainous Priorat has its own microclimate. Summers are long and very warm. In winter, the mercury can drop to zero degrees. Production in the area is scarce and there is indeed a niche market for Priorat wines, especially the new wines from Gratallops.
