Clos Martinet is one of the best and most representative wines in Priorat, a wine which is always top-quality, year after year. Although its style has evolved naturally over the years, as the running of the winery has passed on from father to daughter, from Josep Lluís Pérez to Sara Pérez, their constant hard work and rigour ensure that its quality is instantly recognizable: one of the great Priorat wines, elegant and full of life with a sophisticated nose and exquisite minerality.
Clos Martinet is a celebrated wine, a wine that talks to us of its history and origins, a wine which has ignored trends and refused to relinquish the small amounts of international varieties in its blend. Grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon played an important role in the origins of this wine, and continue to form part of its identity today.
It has the acidity and body to promise it a long future, as can be seen by the fact that previous Clos Martinet vintages are always to be found among lists of the most sought-after wines in Spain. Harmony and expressiveness, power and elegance, a new Priorat whose roots draw from history but avoid excesses. A wine that can skillfully move between maturity and tension, rusticity and sharpness, complexity and transparency. A seductive wine that you are sure to fall in love with.

Elegante Priorat
Gran vino. No soy muy fan de la D.O.Priorat, pero me decanté por este vino por sus buenas valoraciones y reseñas. Me ha sorprendido su elegancia (aunque el tanino es fuerte). Muy fresco y profundo en boca. No sé si hice bien, pero me gustó maridado con cordero y luego con chocolate. Repetiré.

Un must del Priorat
Vino amplio, en todos los sentidos. Desde la nariz, con un bouquet de gran complejidad que envuelve la fruta con ahumados, leves notas animales, y un fantástico aporte del cedro que redondea el conjunto. No falta tampoco el sutil recuerdo de barnices, seña también habitual en muchos priorats. En boca, otro acierto, y eso que aún está jovencito, con una fantástica acidez pero ya muy redondo, con taninos pulidos pero, como se espera, poderoso. Imprescindible.

Top Priorat
Wonderful nose with ripe black berries, cassis, plum, fine herbs, authum forrest, full bodied on the palate, with lovely ripe silky fruit flavors, this bottle shows already a nice balance, fine tannin, fine spices, soft acidity, a touch vanilla, long finish, young ofcourse but lovely 95DSP

The winery
Mas Martinet Viticultors
Although there was no tradition of winemaking in past generations, Josep Lluís Pérez and his family (Pérez Ovejero) established themselves in the Priorat in 1981 and, along with René Barbier senior, Carles Pastrana (Costers del Siurana), Dafne Glorian (Clos i Terrasses) and (Álvaro Palacios), one of the Priorat’s leading experts, they are held responsible for having brought revolutionary changes to this small denomination in Tarragona, now much admired all over the world.
