The 2005 Manyetes is composed of 70% Carinena, 25% Garnacha, and 5% Syrah. Opaque purple-colored, it reveals an alluring bouquet of crushed rock, scorched earth, black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry. Opulent on the palate, this ripe, chewy effort has gobs of flavor and enough sweet tannin to support 4-6 years of further bottle aging. Balanced and lengthy, it should be at its best from 2012 to 2025.

The Region:
Priorat is one of only two regions in Spain to achieve DOQ, the highest wine category in Spain. Priorat is "where it's at" for the new wave of Spanish winemaking. Concentrated stunners of exceptional quality are clawing their way up from the remote, rocky, and inhospitable hills of northeastern Spain. Viticulture and viniculture are nothing new to the region, but a re-discovery of sorts began in the 1980s, with big-name winemakers applying modern techniques and earning global recognition.
Clos Mogador:
Clos Mogador is a winery found in the village of Gratallops. It was founded in 1982, and is owned by René Barbier, one of the Priorat's Renaissance pioneers. These pioneers came in the 1980's and introduced French varietals and modern winemaking techniques. Rene Barbier of Clos Mogador has earned a place at the top of this region's producer list.
Clos Mogador produces limited quantities of three wines: Clos Mogador, Clos Manyetes and Clos Nelin Joven.
