Description

Manyetes is Clos Mogador’s most unapologetically raw and powerful wine - a deep dive into Priorat’s dramatic landscape. Sourced from an intensely warm, black slate vineyard planted to Cariñena, it has always been a wine of sheer force. But with the 2021 vintage, René Barbier Jr. has taken a new approach, dialling back extraction and incorporating whole clusters to preserve energy and finesse.

Harvested in two passes to balance ripeness and acidity, the wine is now partly aged in amphora alongside old foudres, reducing oak influence and amplifying its striking mineral core. The result? A wine that still carries the dark, iron-rich soul of Priorat but with a newfound tension and freshness - earthy, structured, and deeply evocative of the rugged terroir.

This is Priorat at its most elemental, a wine that feels as much about the land as it does the fruit. Manyetes has always been a bold expression of Cariñena, but in 2021, it steps into a more refined, more compelling future.

"It has notes of blood, iron, and soil, achieving balance while keeping its distinct personality. A fresh, tomato vine-like note emerges with time in the glass. One-third of the wine matured in amphorae, and the rest in an old foudre, minimizing oak influence... A new Manyetes."
- Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)

98 points – "The red 2021 Manyetes has less alcohol than any other vintage—13.5% on the label. This is a wine from an extremely warm vineyard, where they harvested earlier (in two passes) and managed to avoid over-ripeness by using crunchy grapes with lots of energy. This year, they made a significant change to preserve freshness while maintaining the black slate character from Cariñena in Priorat, opting for a softer vinification with around 30% full clusters—set to increase in future vintages. It has notes of blood, iron, and soil, achieving balance while keeping its distinct personality. A fresh, tomato vine-like note emerges with time in the glass. One-third of the wine matured in amphorae, and the rest in an old foudre, minimizing oak influence. In 2018, it was aged in barrique, then transitioned to foudre, and by 2021, part was unoaked. A new Manyetes." – Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)
