Vineyard
This wine is made from old vines located in different valleys around the Mas d’en Gil estate. Its name comes from the old name of the estate: Mas d’en Fontà, due to a spring which is located close to the Masia or farmhouse. In the 1980s the grape growing families who arrived to make wine in Priorat decided to use the term “clos” followed by the name of the estate or vineyard plot to name their wines made from old vineyards. Vines were planted from 1931 up until 1970.

Tasting Note
Old vines, the most precise representation of Mas d’en Gil terroir. Clos Fontà concentrates black fruit and minerality in a complex wine. It is the fruit of observation, the passing of time and the will to feel, meditate and recount. It epitomises this unique landscape.
