Product Notes
Clos Alzina is an honest reflection of its original environment, the magical landscape of hillsides and ravines surrounding to the south the old Mas Alsera estate in Torroja del Priorat. Thus, we find complex, deep and balanced aromas, which combine the intense Mediterranean plant ecosystem with a marked ripe fruitiness typical to old vines. The palate is powerful, rich and fine at the same time, and shows a well-integrated acidity, rich in mineral freshness.
In the vineyard: Variety: 100% Samsó (Carignan or Mazuelo). Age of the vineyard: All vines were planted in 1939. Density: 3,000 to 3,500 vines per hectare. Training technique: Traditional ‘vaso’ system (gobelet). Average rainfall: 350-500 mm. Sun exposure: 2,800-3, 000 hours per year.
Winemaking The vinification takes place in barrels of 500 liters, where subsequently malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine is aged in the same barrels for 12 months
