General Information
Clos de Gallur Black is born from a meticulous selection of micro-zones within the Gallur Estate, where the character of the soil, climate, and orientation combine to offer a unique and profound expression of the wine-growing landscape.
Clos de Gallur Black is the result of a meticulous winemaking process in which only the finest raw materials have been selected at every stage. It begins at the Casa Gallur Estate in Caudete, where only the best vines of Tempranillo, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon are chosen, and during harvest, only the finest grape clusters are handpicked.
For the aging of this limited edition, oak barrels from the forests of Allier were used—specifically from Radoux and Hermitage, two of the most prestigious cooperages in France. Only the four barrels that stood out the most during tasting were bottled. These very special barrels impart an extraordinary complexity and character to Clos de Gallur Black. The wine continues to evolve and mature in the bottle. The Finca Casa Gallur estate has very arid limestone soil, a continental climate with Mediterranean influence, strict dry land, and a wide temperature range. This estate is located in the municipality of Caudete, at 600 m above sea level, and is within the most inland areas of the so-called “Valencian Tuscany,” where rainfall is even more scarce, producing wines of unusual concentration. The municipality of Caudete currently belongs to the province of Albacete, but historically belonged to the Kingdom of Valencia. After the War of the Spanish Succession in 1707, Caudete was declared a rebel and annexed to the Crown of Castile. Due to its location within the “Vall dels Alforins” and its historic character, the Casa Gallur estate is an exceptional terroir where wines with the Valencia Protected Designation of Origin are permitted.
Very high aromatic intensity, with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and freshly roasted coffee. The fruit appears fresh and at its optimal ripeness, preserving hints of lavender flowers still clinging to the stem, with memories of lollipop and cherry pit, and a subtle touch of cassis. There’s a balsamic sensation with menthol and resinous nuances. Hints of red berry yogurt and melted caramel emerge.
The wine evolves, grows, and expresses itself with increasing complexity with each swirl, revealing a noble character reminiscent of Bordeaux. On the palate, it is broad and structured, with a sandy texture of polished, elegant tannins taking center stage. Acidity and warmth are seamlessly interwoven, supporting each other.
Decidedly Mediterranean, it is flavorful and powerful without being overwhelming or strident. It hints at great potential for bottle aging. Serious, elegant, intense, and intriguing. Its lingering finish on the palate is nearly eternal.
