【📝概述】
🇪🇸 Clos i Terrasses 由 Daphne Glorian 於 1988 年創立，當時她決定改變自己的生活並在西班牙東北部普里奧拉 (Priorat) 的 Gratallops 村附近的山坡上收購梯田葡萄藤 。在朋友們 René Barbier、José Luis Pérez、Carles Pastrana 和 Alvaro Palacios 的幫助下，這個計畫將誕生西班牙最著名的葡萄酒之一：Clos Erasmus。
葡萄種植者的目標是利用這個獨特的葡萄種植區的所有潛力優勢來種植葡萄：特定的氣候、充足的陽光、涼爽的夜晚和由著名的片岩組成的特殊土壤(Llicorella)，為具有強烈個性的風土葡萄酒打下了基石。 2004 年，Daphne 聘請明星釀酒師 Ester Nin 作為顧問，從長遠來看，將莊園轉為生物動力學自然耕種法。產品廣度有限，僅包括一級酒 “Clos Erasmus” 和二級酒 “Laurel” 。
釀造和熟成：葡萄為手工採摘，整串葡萄在低溫下與外界酵母(Ambient yeast, 又稱野生酵母)一起發酵。這款酒在新/舊橡木桶、混凝土大缸和傳統陶罐的組合之下陳釀 16 個月。

【📝Brief intro】
🇪🇸 Clos i Terrasses was created in 1988 by Daphne Glorian, who decided at that time to change her life and acquire terraced vines, on the hillside near the village of Gratallops, in the Priorat @d.o.q.priorat. Helped by his friends René Barbier, José Luis Pérez, Carles Pastrana and Alvaro Palacios, this project will give birth to one of the most famous wines in Spain: Clos Erasmus.
The goal of the winegrower is to use all the potential of this unique wine-growing area. The conditions for this were excellent: a specific climate, with a lot of sunshine, cool nights and exceptional soils composed of the famous schist called Llicorella, provided the basis for terroir wines with a strong personality. In 2004, Daphne hired star winemaker Ester Nin as an advisor in order, in the long term, to convert the estate to biodynamic cultivation. The product range is limited and only includes the first wine 'Clos Erasmus' and the second wine 'Laurel'.
Vinification & Maturation: The grapes were harvested by hand and the whole bunches ferment at low temperature with ambient yeasts. The wine was aged for 16 months in a combination of oak barrels, barrels already in use, concrete vats and amphorae.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
70% Garnacha, 20% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Deep ruby.
【👃Nose】
Pronounced aromas of blackberry, mulberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, raspberry, strawberry, violet, mild spices, chocolate, cedar, tobacco, and toast.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose, very expressive and lively aromas of black and red fruits with well-integrated oak aromas ending in a long and persistent mineral finish. Full body, high alcohol, medium acidity, medium tannin.
Mouthfeel is velvety and dense at the same time, with round tannins, a soft texture, the right level of acidity, incredibly complex with plenty of powerful fruity aromas and oak elements and a mineral structure, just beautiful!
【🍷 Conclusion】
Exquisite wine from Priorat, amazingly fruity, juicy, fresh, and powerful with a perfect balance between fruit, oak and minerality. Very nice to drink.
