Vinification of Vinya Classificada - Clos Mogador by Clos Mogador The wine is made from hand-selected Syrah grapes that are carefully cultivated in the cool, mineral-rich sites of Catalonia. Hand harvesting ensures that only fully ripe grapes enter the winemaking cycle. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately brought to the winery and subjected to a strict selection process to guarantee the highest quality. Fermentation on the skins takes place at controlled temperature to optimally preserve the wealth of aromas and color potential. The wine is matured in large wooden casks which, due to their porosity and their natural wood character, encourage a harmonious development of aromas. The long maturation period ensures an intense integration of the wood notes and a velvety tannin structure that lends the wine depth and aging potential. During bottle aging, the complex aromas fully develop, which allows the wine to be stored for up to ten years. The result is a wine with a perfect balance between fruit, wood, and terroir, whose character is shaped by meticulous vinous craftsmanship.
