Mas Doix : Les Crestes 2017

The refinement of a great red wine from Priorat by Mas Doix

The estate

Founded in 1850 on the Priorat terroir in the south of Catalonia by Juan Extrems Doix, the Mas Doix bodega is widely recognised and rewarded for the quality of its wines and is known as a benchmark for great Spanish wines.

The Celler Mas Doix cellar was created in 1998 by the Doix & Llagostera families in the village of Poboleda, at the heart of the Priorat region and bordering the Montsant mountains and the Siurana Valley.

Produced in limited quantities, Mas Doix wines express the purity and excellence of the Priorat terroir with refinement, authenticity and finesse.
