Clos D'agon 2017

Empordà is a charming region in Spain, located close to the French border in the Pyrenees, and is known for its close connection to France. The area north of the border is known as Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes, where Catalan is also a widely spoken language.

Clos d'Agon is a well-respected winery in the Empordà, where the famous winemaker Peter Sisseck has acted as a consultant for many years. The Mas Gil winery was established by a group of Swiss friends in 1998, and Peter Sisseck has been involved in the project from the beginning, together with Susana Lopez. The wines from here are classified as DOC Empordà.

The Empordà region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot summers, mild winters and cool winds from the north. The soil is poor in nutrients and consists of granite fragments, rocks and limestone. Grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Mourvèdre are grown here.

Clos d'Agon works with both white grape varieties such as Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier, as well as red grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The wines are powerful and go well with food, with an international style and a warm Spanish touch.

Clos D'Agon Tinto 2017 is a premium wine with a deep dark red color. It offers aromas of black fruit, roasted notes, red pepper, fresh herbs, thyme and licorice root. The taste is elegant with clear tannins, good acidity, soft notes of menthol and eucalyptus, as well as a distinctive structure. The wine is complex with a long finish of ripe black fruit and will develop beautifully over the next 10 years.
