Piero Sini's video: Clos Mogador with Ren Barbier part 1 003

Clos Mogador is one of the great wineries in Spain, whose wines are characterized by a very special finesse. Owner of the winery is René Barbier, who fulfilled a long-cherished dream with the purchase of the property. René Barbier’s great breakthrough has turned a barren, mountainous landscape into a world-class winery, which today enjoys fame and recognition. René Barbier is a passionate winemaker who has managed to turn the Clos Mogador winery into a magnificent and productive estate whose wines conquer the French market. Here, Clos Mogador was a winery that lay fallow for a long time. With the former wasteland that René Barbier acquired in the eighties, the winery is no longer comparable. For more than 30 years, the wine connoisseur and successful winemaker René Barbier has combined modern and traditional wine-making methods to create wines that are not available in this form for a second time. Previously, the vineyards over Tarragona were wild and untamed. Today, the winery Clos Mogador, located in Gratallops, in the Spanish region of Catalonia, radiates tranquility. René Barbier was able to use effectively the slate soils of his domain, which he affectionately called Clos Mogador, by planting rich and noble vines from which he pressed one of the best red wines in Spain. The grape varieties Carignan, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, which have an unmistakable flavor, are still in existence today. Surrounded are the vines of olive, almond and fruit trees, which loosen up the scenic appearance. For many years, the vintage on Clos Mogador is done exclusively by hand, before the grapes are processed with a century-old press. In production, René Barbier pays attention to every detail, so that his red wines are characterized by power and refinement. On wine barrels made of stainless steel waived the winemaker entirely. Rather, he resorts to traditional barrels made of either wood or cement. Since René Barbier remembers old traditions, the wines are neither filtered nor pressed in closed containers. The result is red wines that shine with fully ripe and extremely dark fruits. The spicy and complex taste is reminiscent of berries, leather and wild herbs that provide a powerful and long-lasting finish. You can imagine how crazy I become, when René welcomed me for my first interview. Enjoy (February 4. 2011) FEATURED WINES --- CLOS MOGADOR.
