The wine's story:<\/span><\/h3>

Laurel is the second wine of Daphne Glorian's Clos i Terrasses, but in quality it stands firmly on its own. The grapes come from organically farmed terraces in the village of Gratallops \u2013 some from the very same llicorella (slate) slopes that give rise to the legendary Clos Erasmus. In the 2023 blend the main emphasis is on Garnatxa<\/strong>\u2019, complemented by Syrah and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong>.<\/p>

Each parcela is hand-harvested, the grapes are strictly sorted and the wine is gently fermented to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. Laurel matures in a diverse range of vessels \u2013 in large oak vats, concrete tanks, amphorae and neutral French oak barrels<\/strong>. This approach gives the wine a multi-layered texture while keeping it fresh and elegant.<\/p>

Laurel may be considered the \u201clittle sister\u201d of Clos Erasmus, but it is not merely a side project \u2013 this wine has earned recognition from critics around the world for its depth, character and exceptional value for money.<\/p>

    Tasting notes:<\/span><\/h3>

    In the glass, the wine is clear ruby red<\/strong>, slightly translucent. On the nose there are fresh red berries<\/strong> \u2013 raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry \u2013 around which swirl flowers, Mediterranean herbs and a light note of liquorice<\/strong>.<\/p>

    On the palate, Laurel 2023 is silky, juicy and elegant<\/strong>. The structure is fuller than average, but the texture remains light and flowing. The berry flavours are pure and detailed: redcurrant, cranberry, ripe raspberry<\/strong>, complemented by delicate spice and a slaty, saline minerality.<\/p>

    The tannins are soft and polished<\/strong>, the acidity fresh and the finish long, fruity and slightly spicy<\/strong>. The wine is already very enjoyable when young, but it has enough depth at its core to age gracefully.<\/p>

    Food pairing:<\/span><\/h3>

    Laurel 2023 is a versatile companion to Mediterranean cuisine, suiting both simpler and more festive dishes.<\/p>

    • Grilled or roasted meat:<\/strong> rack of lamb, pork neck chops, BBQ ribs<\/p><\/li>

    • Mediterranean dishes:<\/strong> tomato-based pastas, lasagne, slow-cooked vegetables with herbs<\/p><\/li>

    • Stews:<\/strong> beef stew, rabbit or chicken casserole with herbs<\/p><\/li>

    • Spanish style:<\/strong> tapas, chorizo, Ib\u00e9rico pork<\/p><\/li>

    • Cheeses:<\/strong> Manchego, more mature hard cheeses, softer cheeses with truffle or herbs<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      Serve at 15\u201316\u00b0C; if needed, decant 30\u201360 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Ageing potential:<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Laurel 2023 is drinking well already, but will reach its best balance over the next 5\u20138 years<\/strong> years. Keep the bottle in a cool place, protected from light, and feel free to wait up to 2030\u20132032<\/strong>, to see how the wine becomes deeper and juicier.<\/p>\n
