2020 Clos de L'Obac Costers del Siurana Kyrie

Clos de l'Obac is the place where the first great Priorat wines were made. A couple of young idealists, passionate and with little financial resources, who, together with their wives, decided to devote themselves to winemaking in a small town of two hundred inhabitants called Gratallops, located in the Priorat region. A project that, years later, became the economic engine of the entire region through the production of high-quality wines that are today internationally known and recognized. This region evolved from the poorest corner of Catalunya to the bustling place it is today (at least in terms of winemaking). The New Priorat marked the end of an economic and social depression that lasted for a hundred years as a result of the Phylloxera. Although the creation of the Clos de l'Obac winery was not official until 1987, strictly speaking the project began in 1979, when Carles Pastrana and Mariona Jarque, together with some friends from Tarragona, discovered old vineyards Garnacha and CariÃ±ena in the village of Gratallops started recuperating and replanting, with varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot.
