Intensity comes wrapped in grace here: Clos i Terrasses Clos Erasmus 2021 layers pure pomegranate, sour cherry and wild berry fruit with hints of dried flowers and Mediterranean scrub, gliding across the palate in a surprisingly lifted, almost weightless style despite its natural power. The tannins feel delicate yet plentiful, giving the wine a firm, sculpted shape and a long, luminous finish that reflects the cooler, more refined character of this highly acclaimed vintage.

Clos Erasmus is the flagship red of Clos i Terrasses in Priorat, a tiny-production blend of mostly old-vine Garnacha with Syrah grown on steep, schistous llicorella terraces around Gratallops. Crafted by Daphne Glorian from three meticulously farmed plots (Escales, Aubagues, and Socarrats), it marries dense, dark fruit and Mediterranean herbs with a striking mineral core, abundant yet ultra-fine tannins, and an elegance that has made it one of Spain’s most sought-after and critically acclaimed wines.
