Doix 2022
The Culmination of Historic Priorat
"The eternal essence of Poboleda: an ode to heroic viticulture and the depth of licorella, born from vines that have survived generations since 1902."
Liquid Heritage and Purity
Doix 2022 is the emblem of the Mas Doix winery and one of Spain's most respected red wines. Hailing from the iconic "costers" of slate (licorella) in Poboleda, this wine is the result of a masterful blend of century-old Grenache and Carignan. With superb structure and a velvety finesse, Doix is not just a wine; it is a collector's item designed to evolve gloriously, capturing the mineral power and aristocratic elegance of the most authentic and profound Priorat.

2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby color with dark violet reflections. Very high intensity and a glyceric density that reveals exceptional extract and concentration.
Nose: Astonishing complexity. Liqueur-like black fruit (black cherries, cassis), mineral notes of graphite, exotic spices, incense, and an underlying dark chocolate with hints of Mediterranean scrubland.
Palate: Monumental entry. It possesses body and soul with dense yet silken tannins. Vibrant freshness balances its power, with an eternal finish that evokes the soul of the slate.
