Salanques is a rich blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Carignan, and 10% Syrah. It is a vivid red cherry colour in the glass, loaded with scents of plum, ripe red berries, sour cherry, and dried herbs. It is a truly excellent red wine, representing one of Spain’s most underrated regions.
Founded in 1998 by Valenti and Ramon Llagostera, Mas Doix winery’s vineyards span the colder side of Priorat, in the cool shadows of the Monsant and Molló mountains. It can be a less-than-ideal region for vines, which usually results in characterful grapes, and is dominated by the ‘llicorella’ slate, which imparts a clean minerality to the grapes that do grow here.
The grapes at Mas Doix are harvested by hand, and these ones were plucked from vines around the village of Poboleda, with an average age of 30 years. They are fermented in a combination of French oak and stainless steel, before being aged for 14 more months in French oak barrels. The palate is full-bodied and elegant, with ripe red fruits and strong mineral undertones. You can pair this wine with vegetable tagine, red meat stews, or a hard cheese.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
