The Salix 2021 by Mas Doix is a white blend of 67% Garnacha Blanca, 18% Macabeo and 15% Pedro Ximénez.
The grapes are picked by hand. Transport to the winery is in small 10 kg boxes. The grapes are pressed immediately. This is followed by fermentation, which takes place half in stainless steel tanks and half in oak barrels. The 3 months aging on lees is also done in a perfect mix of stainless steel and oak barrels. The annual production is only 1,800 bottles.
The Salix 2021 from Mas Doix has a bright and brilliant straw yellow color in the glass.
On the medium (+) nose aromas of ripe yellow apples, honey and lemon with hints of melon, almonds, smoke, spice, light petrol notes and orange peel.
On the palate dry, medium (+) body with medium acidity, nice freshness and soft texture. Flavors are a reminder of the nose with a medium (+) intense finish.
