Marco Abella clos Abella

Clos Abella was the first wine made by Marco Abella and the most awarded and recognized of his wines worldwide. It is the very essence of Marco Abella. It comes from the old vines belonging to the family since the 15th century. It has a deep aromatic intensity of black fruit, orange peel, sweet spices and minerality. It is a velvety, deep, balance and fresh wine, with a very long finish. It can be aged in the bottle beyond 30 years.

Due to the difference in the degree of ripeness of the grapes between the upper and lower parts of the vineyard, the La Mallola estate is divided into several zones that are harvested and fermented separately (microvinifications). Once the fermentations are completed in oak vats, the wines are aged in French oak barrels for 16 months.

The Marco family, wine growers since the 15th century in Priorat emigrated to Barcelona at the end of the 19th century. Just over a century later, Olivia Bayés and David Marco decided to come back to their roots building a modern winery and recovering old family vineyards.
