Vinification of the Vi de Paratge Manyetes from Clos Mogador

The viticulture takes place in the renowned region of Catalonia, Spain. The grapes of the Cariñena variety are harvested exclusively by hand in order to bring only the best grapes into the wine. Harvesting takes place at optimal ripeness to bring out concentration and aromatic diversity. After manual harvesting, the grapes are quickly transported and sorted so that only the best berries are used in vinification. The must is gently processed to preserve the delicate phenolic substances and ensure optimal extraction. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, with the large wooden cask allowing for slow, full-bodied maturation. The wooden cask gives the wine suppleness and subtle spice. The age of the barrels varies to provide the wine with a balanced wood character. During maturation, the wine ages for several months to tame the tannins and harmonize the aromas. The end product is a full-bodied red wine with complex structures that can be stored for at least ten years. This careful vinification guarantees the high quality and authenticity of the Vi de Paratge Manyetes from Clos Mogador. The wine is characterized by its dense texture, elegant tannins, and harmony between fruit and spice. The result is a wine with character that reflects the incomparable terroir note of Catalonia.

Food recommendations for the Vi de Paratge Manyetes from Clos Mogador

The Vi de Paratge Manyetes from Clos Mogador is excellently suited to accompany dark, robust dishes. Its complex aromas and dense texture harmonize perfectly with dishes made from red meat, wild poultry, and aromatic sausage. A tasty recommendation is delicately braised beef roulades with a dark red wine sauce. The aroma of the cedarwood note in the wine complements the flavor of the meat perfectly and underscores the spice of the sauce. Equally suitable is braised leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, which emphasizes the full-bodied character of the wine. For vegetarians, a delicate ratatouille with eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers is a fitting option, whose robust aromas optimally support the wine. Dark braised dishes or BBQ variations with spicy marinades also highlight the wine’s complexity. Together with matured cheeses such as aged Camembert or robust hard cheeses, for example Manchego, the full aromatic palette of this red wine unfolds. The fine nuances are particularly evident at a serving temperature between 15 and 18 °C. A Bordeaux glass should be used so that the complex aromas can come into their own in the glass. The drinking experience is further enhanced by the vibrant freshness, the elegant tannin structure, and the long-lasting finish. Finally, it is recommended to decant the wine a few hours before enjoyment. This gives it the chance to show its full range and to delight the palate sustainably.
