Old vines from the costers in Mas Alsera

An aura of intimate mystery pervades the hills surrounding the Alsera masía. The place epitomizes centuries of work and the costers’ mystical scenery —they seem to be engaged in reverent conversation with the Montsant mountains. Clos Alzina mirrors this deep bond between the land and the people, resulting in a captivating wine full of original freshness, purity and truth.

Tasting notes

Clos Alzina is an honest reflection of its original environment, the magical landscape of hillsides and ravines surrounding to the south the old Mas Alsera estate in Torroja del Priorat. Thus, we find complex, deep and balanced aromas, which combine the intense Mediterranean plant ecosystem with a marked ripe fruitiness typical to old vines. The palate is powerful, rich and fine at the same time, and shows a well-integrated acidity, rich in mineral freshness.
