Clos Mogador: Bodega Espectacle Vins Espectacle del Montsant Garnacha 2020 - Lobenbergs Gute Weine


Tasting a grape from its place of origin brings a sense of enormity and significance that cannot be replicated. When I enjoy wine, I see myself not only as someone that appreciates great flavor, but as an actual adventurer and witness to the history and culture of the broader world. The celebration of what makes any grape or style unique is what continuously pulls me back into the passion and forms the deep reverance I have for classic regions.

It’s a bit odd to acknowledge that the phylloxera louse, which devastated vineyards around the world and nearly obliterated winemaking as we know it, must also be credited with turning Sancerre into an international wine superstar.

Elio Grasso
 
“…As has been the case for a number of years, Grasso’s Barolos sit at a very high level within the hierarchy of Piedmont’s top estates… There seems to be no limit where this small family-run estate can go from here.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
