Mas Doix (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 1903 Coma de Cases 2023 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): 1903 Coma de Cases 2023 Vinya classificada – Premier Cru Delicate, pure and fresh All the Grenaches from the Coma de Cases Premier Cru are the origin of this single vineyard wine. A vertiginous vineyard with steep slopes and walls of dry stone, oriented to the west and open to the Siurana river valley. It is always touched by a slight dry breeze that keeps the vineyard exceptionally healthy. Having very thin skins, this Grenache gives us a very expressive and delicate wine. Vineyard Coma de Cases, bush vines planted in 1945. Premier Cru since 2020. Grape Varieties 100% Grenache. Soils Steep slate “llicorella” hillsides. Orientation West, open to Siurana river valley. Altitude 360 – 420 m. Vintage 2023 2023 was another dry and warm year. The first part of the year was very dry, and the vineyard showed very poor budbreak. This accumulated drought, combined with the unseasonably warm weather, caused flowering to be 15 days early, and the vines began to suffer prematurely. The turning point came in late spring in the form of rain. Between May and June, 150 liters fel in Poboleda, making all the difference for the rest of the year. The shoots doubled in length, the grapes swelled, and the vines regained strength and vigor. A couple of well-timed summer storms completed the picture and allowed the vineyard to reach the end of the ripening period in good condition. Climate Mediterranean days and continental nights. High diurnal range. Elaboration Harvested by hand. First selection before gentle destemming of 100% grapes. Second selection berry by berry on the sorting table. All the grapes ferment in an open 400-liter French oak barrel. After three weeks of maceration, we press and only keep the free-run juice. Once the malolactic fermentation is complete, we transfer the wine to a third year barrel. Harvest 2023 The 2023 harvest began 10 days earlier than usual. However, the vines were well-laden with grapes and had ample water reserves, which allowed for a slower ripening process and prevented it from being rushed. Aging 10 months in third year french oak barrel. Bottling 25th July 2024 - Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Analysis Alcohol: 14,5% vol. Total acidity: 4.8 g / L PH: 3,31
