Product Description
Details
One of the best introductions to the Priorat region, Les Crestes is produced by the Mas Doix winery.
This blended Spanish red wine is made from Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. The grapes are sourced from terraced and sloped vineyards with llicorella (slate) soils 20 to 100 years old.
After a manual harvest, the grapes were selected twice and separately vinified according to each variety and each plot.
Alcoholic fermentation was carried out with periodic punch-downs. Then Les Crestes 2022 was drawn-off and aged for 8 months: one quarter in concrete diposits, one quarter in big oak vats and the rest in used French oak barrels. The wine was not filtered or clarified before bottling.
It is advisable to decant this red wine from Priorat 30 minutes before drinking.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Les Crestes is deep ruby with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah winery has the fruit on the forefront. And a nice fruit it is! Liquor-infused blackberries, cranberries, intense aromas of menthol and Mediterranean herbs, some liquorice and a remarkable mineral background. |
| Palate | This wine from bodega Mas Doix is taut and fresh. Meaty, savoury fruit, dim spicy nuances, deep balsamic and mineral notes, yummy tannins, still a bit young, and a long earthy finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Fresher and livelier than ever, Les Crestes 2022 conveys the gentlest side of Priorat. |
