Tasting notes
I tasted the bottled 2021 Finca Dofí, which comes from the 16 hectares that spread across the lieux-dits of La Baixada, Coll de Falset and Camp d'en Piqué. It was made with 88% Garnacha, 9% Cariñena, 2% Picapoll and 1% white grapes fermented with 40% full clusters in oak vats and indigenous yeasts and matured in oval foudres and large barrels for 14 months. It's bright and subtle, with great freshness and elegance, a new face of Dofí, multilayered and harmonious, fine-boned and with very elegant tannins. The strength here is the palate, which is seamless and with more depth. 28,400 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023.

88% Garnacha, 9% Cariñena, 2% Picapoll, 1% Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo. Aged 14 months in foudres and bocoyes. Less overtly fragrant than Álvaro's Valmira Rioja tasted beforehand. Dense on the palate but with vibrant acidity that prevents it becoming too thick-set. Granular tannins that have a long way to go to reach maturity. The red fruit is still very compact and un-luscious – perhaps that reflects the hard slate terroir. Plenty of time is needed. (RH)
The 2021 Finca Dofí is a blend of Garnatxa, Cariñena and dashes of other grapes, sourced from Gratallops in Priorat. This purple wine offers an intense fruit expression of pomegranate and elder, with an herbal undertone. Dry, compact and concentrated, the palate is full of sun energy and supported by a juicy mouthfeel. This velvety red boasts the archetypical fine-grained, reactive tannins of Priorat.
