at the end of the 1970s, the couple formed by the journalist from tarragona, carles pastrana, and the winemaker from barcelona, 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 his two children, guillem and iona -who represent the essential future of this story-, they have consolidated a project that is already known and recognized throughout the world. in 1979, carles pastrana and mariona jarque recovered the family wine tradition and embarked on a long adventure to save the ancient carthusian wines in the heart of the lands that were once under the domain of the priors of scala dei, a monastery located on the catalan region of el priorat. we can say that this domain continues to be the most regular and captivating in 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 candied 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% grenache, 46% cabernet sauvignon, and the remainder in small amounts of syrah, merlot, and mazuelo. aged in small french oak barrels for 15 to 18 months and bottled without filtration, they are opaque, full-bodied, powerful wines with a beautiful richness and personality close to a great bordeaux. exceptionally fragrant, it offers a complex aromatic range of wood smoke, mineral, roasted herbs, incense and black cherry. velvety in texture, layered and ripe, it is well balanced and has an aging potential of 3-4 years.
