“Les Crestes” is a fresh, fruity, and expressive blend of 80% 20-year-old Red Grenache, 10% old-vine Cariñena, and 10% Syrah. All culled from the steep, llicorella 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 their top offerings.

“The red 2023 Les Crestes was produced with a blend of 80% Garnacha, 10% Cariñena and 10% Syrah from llicorella slate and clay and limestone soils. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in a combination of oak foudres, concrete eggs and used barriques for four to six months. It’s fruit-driven, juicy and straightforward, medium to full-bodied with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It has 15% alcohol and a juicy palate. Yields were low; they went down to 28,567 bottles, from the 50,000 the previous year. It was bottled in May 2024.”
