Clos Erasmus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clos Erasmus is a Catalan winery in the Priorat wine region. The wine is a blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes grown with biodynamic viticulture.[1] The Clos Erasmus 2004 vintage was scored 100 points by influential wine critic Robert Parker and its average price is €975 per bottle.[2] The 2013 Clos Erasmus is mostly Garnacha (Grenache) and 25% Syrah, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged mostly in French oak barriques; it too received a perfect score from Robert Parker.[3]

History[edit]

Winemaker Daphne Glorian is originally from Switzerland and moved to Priorat in the 1990s[2] after her 1988 purchase of 17 terraces after being persuaded by friends Alvaro Palacios and Rene Barbier.[4] The winery eventually changed its name to Clos i Terrasses, referencing those terraces.
