Clos Mogador’s 2009 Nelin is a unique blend of 50% Garnacha Blanca with the remaining half a mix of Pinot Noir Blanc, Macabeo, Marsanne, Roussanne, Pedro Ximinez, and Escanyo Velles. It is a lovely offering that as it opens in the glass displays floral notes, baking spices, mineral, melon, and a hint of honeysuckle. Ripe and concentrated on the palate, it has impeccable balance, excellent volume, and a seamless finish. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years.
Pairing: Fish Stew, Omelets, Pasta, Soups and Creams.
Robert Parker has said of Clos Mogador that the wines are ´stunning examples of what Spain can produce but so rarely does´. Made from Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Carignan, this is truly an outstanding wine. The vineyards are are planted on steep schist hillsides, where very old vine... Garnacha has learnt to struggle against the aridity by sending roots 25 metres down in search of water and nutrients. The average yield works out at less than10 hectolitres per hectare.
