The flagship 2006 Clos Martinet is a saturated purple color with an alluring bouquet of liquid mineral, lavender, cigar box, truffle, black cherry, and black raspberry. Fruit-forward, elegant, and smooth textured, this harmonious effort can be enjoyed over the next decade although it will continue to blossom for several more years. Mas Martinet is owned by Jose Luis Perez, one of the original Priorat pioneers. The estate owns 10 hectares of vineyard planted in the famous llicorella Catalan soil. In 2006 the estate has added two new cuvees, Els Escurons and Cami Pesseroles, which are intended to show aspects of the terroir rather than to be special luxury wines.
Producer
Mas Martinet
Based in the wild Spanish region of Priorat, Mas Martinet is considered one of the best wineries in this high-quality DO. Home to 7 hectares of vineyards, planted on steep, terraced vineyards, the Pérez Ovejero family crafts impressively complex and structured wines. The family focuses on the cultivation of native grape varietals, like Garnacha and Cariñena, as well as international varieties, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Sara Pérez is now at helm and continues to amaze wine critics with her simple, authentic Priorat wines. The estate produces a handful of wines, including their eponymously named Clos Martinet, which is a rich, elegant blend of Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cariñena, as well as, their deep Cami Pesseroles, which is a blend of old-vine Garnacha and Cariñena.
