The surrounds of Clos Figueras have been farmed since Roman colonization. There are groves of productive olive trees on the estate, some are centuries of age and yield the most delicious fruit. The original block of vines are also age unknown, returned to life after a period of disuse, they are now source to a Grenache Carignan accord of opulence and humbling virtue. Fermented in the luxury of completely new French oak casks, pigeaged by hand and treated to an extended maceration on skins, followed by a year's maturation in a selection of Allier hogsheads and barriques.

Julius Caesar was born a Spaniard, he probably enjoyed the wines of Priorat at a time when ancient Romans built the very terraces which now yield Font de la Figuera. This majestic viticultural paradise was devastated by phylloxera and abondoned by agricuturalists in the nineteenth century. Rediscovered by fine wine enthusiasts and re established to productive vineyards in the 1980s, it delivers vintages of the most exquisite Grenache blends in the world. Layered with licorice and the seasoning of Mediterranean spice, a penetrating wine, seamless, stately and refined.
