Christopher Cannan purchased Clos Figueres in 1997 on the advice of René Barbier of Clos Mogador. The vineyards cover some 10 hectares. There are about 2500 old Carignan and Grenache vines planted more than 20 years ago for the Clos Figueres label. The remainder, about 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, some Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre were planted in 1998 and are used for the production of Font de la Figuera. The location is just to the north of Gratallops on terraced slopes of pure schist, the soil responsible for the finest wines of Priorat. René Barbier's team takes care of the vineyards as well as the vinification and ageing of the wines. The young and juicy red 2021 Serras del Priorat is a blend of Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon produced in an approachable way. It has a soft palate and round tannins achieved through maturing it in used 300- and 500-liter French oak barrels for seven months. It's fruit-driven, with ripe fruit and 14.5% alcohol, keeping good freshness and balance.
