at the end of the 1970s, the couple formed by the tarragona journalist carles pastrana and the barcelona winemaker marioneta jarque embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, dedicating their professional and family future to the project to recover priorat wines and their international dissemination. . thirty years later, together with her two children, guillem and iona -who represent the essential future of this story- they have consolidated a project already known and recognized throughout the world. in 1979, carles pastrana and mariona jarque revived the family winemaking tradition and embarked on a long adventure to save the ancient carthusian wines in the heart of the lands once ruled by the priors of scala dei, a monastery located in the catalan region of priorat. we can say that this domain continues to be the most regular and captivating domain of the region. le clos de l'obac is a wine of extraordinary power, structure and complexity. these characteristics are the result of the diversity of orientations and altitudes of seven vineyards. full body, sweet and jammy fruit, excellent purity, harmony and balance, and a long finish. this is a new red spanish style that must have many fans. these impressive wines are made with a blend of approximately 48% grenache, 46% cabernet sauvignon, and the remainder with small amounts of syrah, merlot, and mazuelo. we can say that this domain remains the most regular and captivating domain of the region the 2010 clos de l'obac, a blend of mediterranean and french red grapes, is more serious, with a restrained nose showing balance and touches of elegance, combining the ripe black fruit with sweet spices and some hints of the forest floor. however, the palate seems to lack the freshness i've found in other 2010s and the tannins seem to be drying out the fruit a bit, so i'd opt to drink this on the younger side with some powerful foods.
