Tasting Notes

Slurp Wines NR

Alges is Clos Pons` signature red, made from organically farmed Tempranillo and Garnacha vines planted at altitude in Costers del Segre. The name means `algae` in Catalan, a nod to the ancient marine sediments in the vineyard soils. The 2018 vintage has had time to develop, showing more complexity and integration than younger releases. Extended aging in French oak before release. Red cherry, raspberry and plum with dried herbs, leather and earthy minerality. Medium bodied with silky tannins softened by age. The fruit has evolved beyond primary freshness into something more savoury and nuanced. There`s Mediterranean warmth balanced by altitude-driven freshness and acidity. Long finish with hints of tobacco and spice. Serve at room temperature (16-18°C). No decanting necessary at this age. Excellent with grilled vegetables, roast pork, mushroom risotto, or Manchego. At its peak now, will hold another 3-5 years for those who enjoy further development. [Slurp Wines, 05/06/2026]

The Clos Pons winery in the Costers del Segre DO area comes highly recommended to us. It is located in the region of Las Garrigas, South of the province of Lleida, in the municipalities of the Albages and La Pobla de Cervoles. Scarce rainfall, cold winters and very warm summers, an altitude of 500 to 700 metres and poor soil constitute the ideal space for wine of great quality, eco-friendly in our case.

The winery is located on a hill that overlooks the whole vineyard - a plan not unlike the concept of the French ''Chateau'' or the American ''Estate''. All the wine is made here through a combination of technology and traditional methods. Everything is designed to work with respect for quality and to maintain the properties of the ''terroir'' to the maximum in the wines.

Extreme weather conditions and low production volumes are reflected in their red wines - intense deep colour, strong aromas of ripe fruit and then an elegant touch of oak from the winemaker.
