Description
In Priorat, land of legendary reds, Mas Doix had the impulse (and the courage) to seek the light in the slate. Mas Doix Salix was born in Poboleda, where altitude and cool nights tame the Mediterranean and lengthen the ripening process. Here, the vines cling to impossible slopes - the "costers" - of llicorella, that black slate that drains, warms and, at the same time, imprints an unmistakable mineral pulse. The idea of the wine was born as a statement: to demonstrate that a Priorat white wine can be fine without losing character, delicate without becoming fragile. They say that, when everything called for more power and new wood, they opted for the opposite: used oak and sharpness. The blend makes it clear: Garnacha Blanca (65%) as the backbone, Macabeo (20%) for the citric nerve and Pedro Ximénez (15%) for the whisper of texture and depth.
Winemaking
At Mas Doix Salix, the grapes are harvested by hand in 10 kg crates with a rigorous selection of bunches. After a very gentle destemming, the grapes go through a pneumatic press. The must ferments at 16 ºC in second and third year French oak barrels, seeking precision, not make-up. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is protected to prevent malolactic fermentation and preserve tension. Ageing on lees: 3 months in the same barrels with weekly bâtonnage, refining volume and persistence.
Taste
Mas Doix Salix is bright pale yellow in the glass. Nose of restrained white fruit (pear, apple), lemon peel and a background of fennel and undergrowth. With air, the stone appears: dry minerality, almost flinty. Silky on the palate, but with lively acidity that stretches the drink; creamy lees centre, saline and persistent finish, fine and delicate, like a cool breeze on hot slate. A serious, gastronomic white, with a straight and elegant line.
