“Les Crestes” is a fresh, fruity, and expressive blend of 80% 20-year-old Red Grenache, 10% old-vine Carignane, and 10% Syrah. All culled from the steep, licorella soil vineyards. Fruit was hand-picked in small crates, then sorted twice at the winery and vinified by vineyard parcel. The wine aged nine months in fine-grain second-fill French oak barrels. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

This is a great introduction to Mas Doix, produced with the same meticulous care in the vineyard and winery as for their top offerings.

“The young and juicy red 2021 Les Crestes made me think of a wine from the Rhône, with black berry fruit, spice, earth, smoked bacon and violet aromas. The palate is velvety, medium to full-bodied and has fine, round tannins. Very drinkable and pleasant. 60,000 bottles were filled in June 2022.” 92+ points, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, September 2022
