"The 2021 Salanques, a blend of 70% Garnacha, 20% Cariñena and 10% Syrah, has the subtleness, elegance and freshness of the cooler year. There's good ripeness and great balance, red and black fruit, some spices and flowers, and it's elegant and aromatic. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with good ripeness, the customary 14.5% alcohol and a low pH and high acidity that show in the vibrant palate. It finishes long, clean and very tasty. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023."

"Crisp and red fruited, light notes of raspberry as well as cranberry, bright fennel and rosemary, light touch of jasmine, and oolong tea. Fresh and zippy on the palate, fruit present but the acidity gets in the way a touch and threatens to overwhelm the wine.."

Tasting Notes
Crafted by Mas Doix, a distinguished winery nestled in the rugged terrain of Priorat, Catalonia, Spain, this wine is a testament to the region's unique terroir and the winery's commitment to quality.
A blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Carignan, 10% Syrah. Sourced from bush vines of 25 to 30 years old. After winemaking, the wine is aged for 14 months in new and second year French oak barrels of superfine grain.
Intense cherry color precedes a captivating aroma that is both spicy and mineral, with hints of ripe red fruit adding to its allure. On the palate, it exhibits elegance and fullness, accompanied by remarkable persistence and very good acidity. This wine embodies sophistication and finesse.
