MAS DOIX | LES CRESTES 2023 75cl

Product Sheet – Mas Doix Les Crestes 2023

Mas Doix Les Crestes 2023 is the gateway to the mineral and vibrant soul of Priorat. A wine that comes from the steep slopes covered in slate, where old vines defy time and terrain, giving life to a wine that balances the strength of the landscape with the elegance of Grenache.

From vineyards located between 350 and 500 meters of altitude, on slate (licorella) soils that impart character, verticality, and tension. Harvesting is manual, with careful selection of the bunches. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, followed by 8 months of aging in French oak barrels, which provides structure, smoothness, and complexity without overshadowing the fruit.
