Description: Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles is one of the most representative wines from Mas Doix, a winery located in Poboleda, in the heart of the Priorat. It comes from old vineyards cultivated on steep slopes, on the appellation’s characteristic licorella soils. Made primarily from Garnacha and Cariñena, it stands out for its concentration, depth, and pronounced mineral character. The 2001 vintage, renowned for its quality in the Priorat, offers a profile of ripe black fruit, spices, balsamic notes, and nuances of aging, with structure and length. It is an outstanding expression of the character of the Priorat’s great age-worthy wines.
