Mas Doix are a family producer of village-specific Priorats from Poboleda in the north-east. They live and breathe (and work very hard at) the 'nothing's easy in Priorat, but if you get it right, it's magic' mantra. Old vines, deep roots, low crops, complex aromas, longer and deeper wines. Mas Doix have 18 hectares of own vineyards in Poboleda, protected between the Monstant and Serra de Motlló ranges, and cooled by north-easterly breezes. Current chief, Valenti Llagostera is the 5th generation custodian. Mas Doix recovered their fruit from the desperate resort of the co-ops in 1999 and the family wine business effectively dates from 1998, although the family's vineyard holdings and involvement in Priorat wine industry date to the 1850s. The wines are fermented in temperature-controlled clean oak vats after bunch and berry selection. The wines are handled by gravity, and bottled without fining or filtration.
