Clos Erasmus 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Clos Erasmus 2022 1500ml Magnum from Clos i Terrasses

Colour & Appearance

Luminous ruby red with youthful brilliance that underscores the freshness of this extraordinary vintage.

Nose

A bouquet of breathtaking finesse and depth. Pure fruit pairs with sensual floral notes in an intoxicating aromatic interplay. What initially appears elegant and accessible reveals new facets with each swirl: earthy minerality, subtle spice nuances, a complexity that never feels contrived but rather emerges organically from the terroir. A wine that invites contemplation.

Palate

Here the full magic of Priorat reveals itself. Powerful and energetic, yet of remarkable precision. The noble, ripe tannins envelop the palate with silky-smooth texture. Despite 15.5% alcohol and unbridled power, the Clos Erasmus feels positively dancer-like in its lightness – a paradox that only great wines master. The minerality of the slate soils runs through every sip.

Finish

Spectacular. Ultra-long, juicy, saline and spicy all at once. The wine resonates for minutes and leaves behind a silky-elegant mouthfeel that is unparalleled. A finale that marks the difference between a very good wine and a great one.

Terroir & Origin

The vines are rooted in the legendary slate soils of Priorat, in barren steep vineyard sites that demand everything from the vines. Here, where Daphne Glorian has been pioneering since the late 1980s, wines of unique minerality and depth are created.

Grape Variety & Vinification

70% Garnacha, 30% Syrah from biodynamic cultivation. Spontaneous fermentation in wooden vessels of varying sizes, followed by 18 months of ageing in new and used barriques as well as partly in clay amphorae – a vinification that unites tradition and innovation.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A wine for special occasions: dry-aged beef, roasted lamb shoulder, game dishes or aged Manchego. The magnum bottle is ideal for festive tables.

Special Features

From the winery of Daphne Glorian, a pioneer of modern Priorat. The Clos Erasmus ranks among the great red wines of Spain and embodies the very best this region has to offer.
