REGION: Priorat
The estate of Clos Mogador is a must for any serious Spanish wine aficionado. Located in Gratallops, in the heart of the Priorat hills, René Barbier creates his intensely concentrated wine which, vintage after vintage, has consistently received accolades from the wine world.
Born in the heart of Priorat, RAR is a fresh and fruit-driven expression uncommon in the region - hence the name, which also happens to be the initials of winemaker Richard Rofes of Scala Dei fame.
Helmed by the energetic, free-wheeling Albert Jané, Ritme Celler espouses a minimalist philosophy. The goal: “expressing and the quality and singularity of traditional viticulture against the globalization of international varieties and modern winemaking style.”
A joint project from René Barbier of Clos Mogador and his wife Sara Pérez of Mas Martinet, located in Priorat on a small old-vine "coster" vineyard. This project is based on the couples philosophy on life: a sustainable, organic project where they could close the circle of life.
