Mas Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles Priorat 2008

Winemaker Notes Old vines aren’t worth a farthing unless they are planted in the right place – luckily the Doix vineyard is just such a site. This is the oldest vineyard at Mas Doix, a steep, natural amphitheater that starts at 350m above sea level before topping off at 500m. The oldest vines of Carinyena were planted here, in the fractured llicorella soils, starting in 1902, followed by some terribly youthful (by comparison!) 80 year-old Garnatxa. The wines from this site are concentrated but quite balanced – showing the hallmark acidity and minerality characteristic of all of the wines from this address.
