Clos i Terrasses: Exceptional Wines from Priorat, Spain

About Clos i Terrasses
Clos i Terrasses is one of the most prestigious estates in Priorat, founded in 1989 by Daphne Glorian, a Swiss woman who fell in love with this unique wine region.

Due to this limited production, the estate's wines, especially Clos Erasmus, have become some of the most sought-after in Spain.

The estate is renowned for its ability to create wines that capture the essence of Priorat, using natural and environmentally friendly winemaking practices. Each bottle reflects the exceptional quality of the terroir and the expertise of the Clos i Terrasses team.
