Dofi

"The single-vineyard red 2019 Finca Dof comes from the 14 hectares of vines planted across three parajes (lieu-dits) in Gratallops. This year, it's 87% Garnacha, 12% Carinena and 1% white grapes. It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in large oak barrels for 14 months. It's classy, elegant and fresh with very clean aromas and flavours, not lacking concentration or power. There is superb definition and purity here; it has to be the finest and most elegant Dof to date. It has finer tannins and more elegance than La Baixada this year." 97/100 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
