Doix de Mas Doix

Doix by Mas Doix: a red wine from Priorat

Doix by Mas Doix is one of the signature wines of Celler Mas Doix, based in Poboleda within the DOQ Priorat appellation in Catalonia. It brings together two traditional local grapes, Grenache and Carignan, with a strong emphasis on the character of old vineyards. For wine lovers looking to discover the distinct identity of Priorat, Doix offers an opportunity to explore the approach of a producer rooted in this landscape.

Poboleda and its llicorella slate vineyards

Mas Doix works on steep slate hillsides known locally as costers de llicorella. The growing conditions combine Mediterranean influences with marked day-to-night temperature changes. The estate aims to reflect the particular setting of Poboleda through its wines. Exact blending percentages and vine ages depend on the harvest, so they should not be assumed without knowing the vintage being sold.

Winemaking and barrel ageing

The producer describes hand harvesting and careful grape sorting for Doix, followed by fermentation in stainless-steel tanks and maturation in barrels. Mas Doix publishes technical information for individual vintages, and the duration and barrel regime can vary from one vintage to another. Idyllica’s product listing does not identify a specific harvest year, so we do not assign ageing months or a vintage-specific technical specification to this bottle.

Serving and food pairing ideas

Doix will appeal to people interested in the structure, depth and regional identity associated with red wines from Priorat. For a meal, consider matching it with slow-cooked dishes, roasted meats, mushrooms or mature cheeses. Serve at a moderate red-wine temperature, allowing the wine to open gradually and adjusting aeration to the bottle and your preferences. These are serving suggestions rather than manufacturer-specific requirements.
