Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles is Mas Doix’s flagship wine and one of the Priorat’s greatest wines. Produced in Poboleda from old Garnacha and Cariñena vineyards grown on the region’s characteristic llicorella soils, it stands out for its concentration, depth, and pronounced minerality. Its limited production and the uniqueness of its vineyards have cemented its prestige among Spain’s greatest wines. The 2001 vintage, one of the winery’s most acclaimed, earned 98 points from Robert Parker, placing Mas Doix among the Priorat’s most distinguished producers. Made from Grenache vines over 90 years old and century-old Carignan, it displays remarkable aromatic richness, with notes of black fruit, licorice, graphite, and spices, accompanied by a powerful structure and a persistent finish. Its international acclaim and the presentation of twelve bottles in their two original wooden cases further enhance the appeal of this set for collectors of great Priorat wines.
