Details
MarLa Varietats Autòctones 2021
The wine MarLa Varietats Autòctones is the mid-shelf red of 6th generation Priorat-born Sandra Doix, who started her personal project in 2019 after working for several years as winemaker at the prestigious Mas Doix winery.
This blend of Carignan (70%) and Grenache (30%) is sourced from old vineyards, all located near Poboleda, in DOQ Priorat’s freshest area. That fact allows this Spanish red wine to be labelled Vi de Vila de Poboleda.
The grapes were hand-picked and meticulously sorted before fermenting in stainless steel tanks. After that, this red wine from Priorat was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Finally, the red wine MarLa Varietats Autóctones 2021 was kept in the cellar for a significant amount of time before being released onto the market.
We suggest decanting this Crianza red wine 2 hours before drinking.

| Appearance | The red wine MarLa Varietats Autóctones is deep ruby with some violet reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This traditional blend of Carignan and Grenache suggests rosemary, lavender and thyme, with a rocky mineral core and remarkably pure aromas of blueberries and sour strawberries, intertwined with blue flowers and intimations of graphite and metal. |
| Palate | This wine by Sandra Doix is medium to full-bodied, with exquisite concentration of ripe forest berries, deep mineral unertones, a stylish and nicely integrated acidity, elegant powdery tannins and a layer of spices and aromatic herbs, ending with a very fresh and complex finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine MarLa Varietats Autòctones 2021 showcases the amazing quality of the reds from the Poboleda region of Priorat, as well as Sandra Doix’s deep understanding of the region. |
