Clos i Terrasses: Daphne Glorian in the vineyard

Daphne Glorian from the Clos i Terrasses winery is a legend in Priorat and has always had a cult following. The US-American has established herself as one of few non-Spaniards at the top of Spanish wine. Highest ratings and a huge demand on the small production volume were not long in coming. Early on, she made her mark and in 2004 began her vineyards according to the principles of biodynamics to manage the vineyard. Since that time, the accomplished winemaker distinguishes herself, Esther Ninresponsible for the vineyards. A milestone in the young history of the winery and a gain in quality. Esther Nin is also in charge of her own Winery Nin-Ortiz represented in our assortment.

Daphne and Esther produce two wines: Laurel and Clos Erasmus. Laurel is the translation of the name Daphne into the English language. Laurel is a cuvée of mostly Garnacha with Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, the wine is matured in barrels, amphorae, concrete eggs and used barriques. A dark fruity, mineral wine full of energy and floral aromas is the symbol of a Priorat in perfection.
