One bottle of the 2018 Mas Doix "Doix" Costers de Vinyes Velles is simply not enough. We have secured a limited parcel of this library release that has never left the importer’s temperature-controlled warehouse, offering you a rare chance to own a flagship Priorat with A++ provenance at its absolute cellar sweet spot. While an older vintage might occasionally surface at auction, this is a direct-from-importer selection in impeccable condition. To make this an easy "cellar-stocker" decision, we are offering nearly 50% off the list price on any 4-pack buy-in. This is a heritage wine from some of the most unique sites in the world, and at eight years from the vintage, it is finally beginning to show its true aromatic glory. We’ve locked in on seven cases that will disappear fast. 

Immortalized by its unique Llicorella (brittle black slate) soils, Mas Doix is a wine you can literally smell and taste. In the cool-climate sub-region of Poboleda, vines must dig deep through Paleozoic slate to survive, enduring diurnal shifts of up to 40 degrees. This creates a wine with more perfume than a Rioja Gran Reserva and the structural concentration of a legendary Côte-Rôtie. The most discerning Rhône enthusiasts will grovel over this blend of 55% Cariñena and 45% Garnatxa, sourced from bush-trained vines—some of which are over 120 years old. These gnarled, ancient roots yield a liquid that is immense upon release but transforms into a gorgeous, mineral-driven wonder with age.

The consistency of Mas Doix is nearly unrivaled in Spain; the Wine Advocate has rated this flagship 94 points or higher in 19 of the last 20 releases. This "batting average" is a testament to the meticulous organic and biodynamic farming practiced by the Llagostera family. In the cellar, the fruit is treated with a delicate touch, undergoing 16 months of aging in French oak to polish the powerful tannins without masking the vineyard’s voice. The result is a profound expression of Priorat—inky, dense, and vibrating with life—that balances ripe Mediterranean fruit with an iron-clad mineral backbone.

On the palate, the 2018 is a stunning study in elegance and power, where the weight of the ancient vines meets a sophisticated, refined structure.. A riveting nose of black cherry, wild lavender, and incense is underscored by a deep, graphite-laden minerality. As it opens, notes of exotic spices and savory Mediterranean herbs emerge, leading to a persistent, mouth-coating finish that hums with the energy of the slate hillsides. It is a "complete" wine, structured for the long haul but sufficiently integrated to be the centerpiece of your next dinner. Serve it in large stems alongside herb-crusted lamb or wild boar to see why Mas Doix is considered a true trailblazer of the Spanish wine revolution.

¡Viva España!

Critical Acclaim:

95+ Points, Wine Advocate:

“The 2018 Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles, a classical selection of very old vines, is a wine that year after year shows good regularity and showcases the style of Priorat, powerful but also balanced and elegant. The tannins and mouthfeel are quite elegant, and the wine shows very good overall balance. Tasting it next to the 2019, I preferred the elegance of this 2018.” - Luis Gutiérrez
