Com Tu 2019 is the new project by René Barbier and his sons René and Anderson, in la Figuera (D.O. Montsant). A red wine from a vineyard adjacent to the one that produces L’Espectacle, at almost 600 meters altitude, with 35-50-year-old Garnacha vines planted on calcareous and red clay soils. This excellent origin and a measured production, completed with 18 months of aging in foudres, resulted in a Clos Mogador wine that stands out for its great aromatic complexity, its mineral character, and its freshness, with a smooth and harmonious palate and an exceptional aftertaste.

Creators' opinion
The garnacha from La Figuera produces wines with a range of unique, tender, and fluid colors, with fresh aromas, floral, orange peel, incense, and a remarkable set of white fruit varieties, with very fresh citrus. The high alcohol content of this wine, along with exceptional acidity, promotes perfect aging. On the palate, it enters smoothly, with harmony, but crescendo in the development of taste that progressively rises, leaving an exceptional aftertaste. Com Tu leaves us astonished and fills us with vitality.
The winery
Clos Mogador is a small family winery in the D.O.Q. Priorat, founded in 1978 by the winemaker René Barbier, born in Tarragona and a member of a lineage of French winegrowers dating back to the year 1200, and his wife Isabelle Meyers. The journey of the winery began with the acquisition of several hectares of old Garnacha vineyards in the area of Gratallops. Today, the winery is one of the most important in this appellation, and its owner is one of the key figures in its global recognition.
The obsession with making their creations an expression of the original terroir guides Barbier's work to the point that their flagship wine, Clos Mogador, became the first wine in the D.O.Q. Priorat to receive the classification of Vino de Finca. The outstanding quality of the harvested grapes and the meticulous winemaking process in the winery result in wines highly rated by specialized critics.
