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 the most respected red wines in Spain. Sourced from the iconic slate "costers" (licorella) in Poboleda, this wine is the result of a masterful blend of centennial Garnacha and Cariñena. With superb structure and 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.

Appearance: Deep ruby color with dark violet reflections. Very high intensity and a glyceric density revealing exceptional extract and concentration.
