The 2017 Finca Dofi red comes from 14 hectares of vines planted across three parajes (places) in Gratallops. This year’s blend is composed of 87% Grenache, 12% Carignan, and 1% white grapes (Grenache Blanc and Macabeu). It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in large oak barrels (bocoyes and foudres) for 14 months. It is racy, elegant, and fresh, with very clean aromas and flavors that lack neither concentration nor power. This must be the finest and most elegant Dofi to date.
