Each wine occupies a place within the winery and allows you to approach Mas Doix from a different depth.
Les Crestes, Salanques and Doix They share the same way of understanding the land, but each one expresses the territory from a different perspective.
More than a question of hierarchy, these are three ways to discover the essence of Mas Doix: from a fresher and more accessible expression to a deeper interpretation of our old vines and the landscape that surrounds them.
Understanding these differences helps you select each wine better and enjoy it with more context.
Each person approaches a winery differently.
Some are looking for an initial introduction to the style. Others want a more complex wine for a special meal. And still others desire a bottle that allows them to delve deeper into the winery’s identity and its most emblematic vineyards.
Therefore, there is no single entry point to Mas Doix .
The key is to find which expression of Priorat best suits each moment: a fresher and more direct vision, greater depth, or a more precise interpretation of the origin.
Les Crestes, Salanques and Doix allow you to travel that path while always maintaining the same identity: respect for the vineyard, the landscape and time.

Salanques: balance between expression and depth
Salanques offers a broader view of Celler Mas Doix .
With 65% Garnacha, 25% Cariñena, and 10% Syrah , this wine allows for a more profound understanding of how the varieties interact within the same wine. Garnacha contributes expression, fruit, and breadth; Cariñena adds structure, depth, and tension.
Salanques is not just an intermediate step. It is a wine with its identity that reflects one of the ideas that best define Mas Doix’s approach to Priorat : intensity and elegance can coexist in the same glass.
It can be a good choice for those who already know Les Crestes or for those looking for a reference with more layers, but still very versatile.
