General Information
Clos del Portal Negre de Negres 2022 is a red wine from the Clos del Portal estate, located between El Lloar and Bellmunt in the heart of the Priorat, at an altitude of 450-500 meters. The vines, aged between 20 and 65 years, are cultivated on 'licorella' slate soils with a Mediterranean orientation and optimal sun exposure. The garnacha, cariñena, and syrah grape varieties that make up its blend are grown following the principles of organic viticulture.
The harvest is carried out manually between the second week of September and the second week of October. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. The wine ages for 12 to 15 months in foudres and large French oak barrels, respecting the expression of the terroir to the fullest.
Portal del Priorat was founded in 2001 by architect Alfredo Arribas, who decided to restore ancient terraces and slopes in the Priorat. With a philosophy based on respect for nature and organic viticulture, the winery has established itself as a benchmark for the new generation of Priorat wines. Alfredo Arribas, along with winemaker Joan Asens, leads this project that seeks elegance and authenticity in every bottle.
As for pairing, Clos del Portal Negre de Negres 2022 is ideal to accompany red meats, game, rustic rice dishes, stews with sauce, and aged cheeses. Its structure and freshness make it versatile and perfect for intense and flavorful dishes.
Creators' opinion
Bright cherry red color. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruits such as plums and blackberries, with balsamic notes, spices, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is smooth, flavorful, and balanced, with polished tannins and refreshing acidity. Long and persistent finish.
