in the late 1970s, the married couple, tarragona-born journalist carles pastrana and barcelona-based oenologist mariona jarque, embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, dedicating their professional and family future to the project of recovering priorat wines and making them known internationally. thirty years later, together with her two children, guillem and iona - who represent the essential future of this story - they have consolidated a project that is now known and recognised throughout the world. in 1979, carles pastrana and mariona jarque recovered the family winemaking tradition and embarked on a long adventure to save the ancient carthusian wines in the heart of the lands that were once under the dominion of the priors of scala dei, a monastery located in the catalan region of el priorat. we can say that this domain is still the most regular and captivating 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-bodied, sweet and jammy fruit, excellent purity, harmony and balance, and a long finish, this is a new-style spanish red that should have many admirers. these impressive wines are made from a blend of approximately 48% garnacha, 46% cabernet sauvignon and the remainder in small quantities of syrah, merlot and mazuelo. the wines are aged in small french oak barrels for 15 to 18 months and bottled unfiltered, opaque in colour, full-bodied, powerful, with a beautiful richness and a personality close to a great bordeaux. we can say that this domaine is still the most regular and captivating of the cherry-red region. perfumed aroma of black cherries. leather, spices and mineral. balanced and light on the palate with a broad finish. very complex.
