About Clos Martinet
Clos Martinet is a red wine produced by the winery Mas Martinet in Falset (Tarragona), D.O.Q. Priorat.
The winery Mas Martinet was founded in 1986 by José Luís Pérez, oenologist, researcher, teacher, and one of the main characters in the revival of Priorat.
The farm Mas Martinet, located between Falset and Gratallops, one of the best areas of Priorat, has 7 hectares of vineyards. This farm was chosen back then by José Luís Pérez, according to studies of soils, exposures and microclimates of the areas.
In 2000, Mas Martinet chose to use only organic agriculture, to recover varieties that were almost extinct, to make single-vineyard wines, and to innovate with advice programmes and more efficient and sustainable production processes.
Currently, the wineryis directed by his daughter, Sara Pérez, oenologist of Venus La Universal, among others.
Clos Martinet is a wine made with Grenache, Carignan and a small percentage of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvingon, varieties from the farm Clos Martinet, formed by excellent old vines cultivated organically.
Clos Martinet is one of the great red wines of Priorat. It is very representative of the characteristic licorella (slate) terroir of this D.O. A powerful wine with a great ageing capacity.
