Clos d'Agon Blanco 2015, Spain

Clos d'Agon Blanco 2015 is a sophisticated white wine from Mas d'en Gil in Calonge, Girona. This wine is made mainly from Viognier and other Rhône grapes planted close to the Gavarres Mountains. It presents delicate notes of white fruits and Mediterranean herbs, finished with a round and slightly salty aftertaste.

The Empordà region, located in northeastern Spain near the French border, is famous for its rugged, mountainous terrain and Mediterranean climate. The area experiences hot summers and mild winters, with the Tramontana wind bringing coolness in the summer months. The soil here is poor in nutrients and consists of granite chips, rocks and limestone.

The Clos d'Agon wines come from the Mas Gil winery, which was established by a group of Swiss friends in 1998. Danish winemaker Peter Sisseck has been part of the project as a consultant since the beginning. The wines are now classified as DOC Empordà. The white wines are based on roussanne, marsanne and viognier, while the red wines include cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, carignan, grenache, merlot and petit verdot. These wines are powerful, suitable for food and have an international style with a warm Spanish character.
