In July 2017, we opened a window at Mas Doix\u2014a window to show you our day-to-day life in the vineyards and the winery\u2014and today we send you the 100th edition. Thank you for following us! The Newsletter is also a channel to bring you closer to our reflections and analyses. Everything that happens in the vineyard and the winery is reflected in our wines, and sharing this knowledge also helps to understand them better. Today we are publishing a special edition to recall the most important things that have happened to us over these almost 9 years, and above all, to see them with the perspective of the passage of time. During these 9 trips around the sun, we have learned many things that help us improve, grow, and, little by little, show more and more the essence of our terroir through our wines.<\/p>\n

THE WEATHER AND THE VINEYARD<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since the 2017 harvest, we have been sharing how the climate affects our vineyard and wines. Over these 9 years, we have experienced vintages of all kinds, reaching extremes we could never have imagined, and above all, making evident the climate change that is reshaping the paradigm of viticulture in our region. Rising temperatures<\/p>\n

Rising temperatures<\/span><\/h3>\n

The year 2022 marked a radical shift, and since then, temperatures have not returned to the \u201cnormal\u201d values from just five years ago. The trend of global temperature increase has become evident.<\/p>\n

Rain: fron Gloria to drought<\/span><\/h3>\n

After an exceptionally rainy 2018 and especially 2020 (with storm Gl\u00f2ria), 2022 confirmed the beginning of a severe drought that lasted 4 years and was not definitively reversed until 2025.<\/p>\n

THE WINES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Each wine tells a story, a vital moment. A wine is the result of vineyards planted at a specific time, and each has its own story and characteristics: location, slope, grape varieties, microclimate, soil\u2026 To all of this we add the work in the winery, where we have different materials to ferment and age the wines, and not forgetting the attention and care of the entire Mas Doix team. Every new wine is a statement of intentions, a message we want to convey in the glass, on the label, and through its name. It is about showing a new face and perspective of this multifaceted and diverse Priorat. Each bottle is a manifesto of a specific purpose. In 2017, we arrived with almost 20 years of winemaking experience and four wines in our portfolio:\u00a0DOIX (since 1999), Salanques (since 2000), Les Crestes (since 2007), and 1902 (since 2009). At this point, a new stage began in which we started presenting new projects and expanding our range.<\/p>\n
