Finca Dofí 2021
76.55₣ (Exc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Switzerland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The more backward of the 2021s was the 2021 Finca Dofí, which was very primary and smelled almost like the fermentation vessels, and it took time in the glass to open up. The blend is higher in Garnacha and they couldn't use the Picapoll, as it didn't work well that cool year, so it's 90% Garnacha, 9% Cariñena and 1% white grapes. It achieved 14.5% alcohol but kept better freshness than in 2020, a constant in the 2021 wines. Very promising. They expect 24,000 bottles. It should be bottled around April 2023.

Description
Finca Dofí is a red wine made from Garnacha tinta, Cariñena, and a very small amount of Garnacha blanca and Macabeo by Álvaro Palacios under the D.O.Q. Priorat in Gratallops, Catalonia. Priorat in Gratallops, Catalonia.
It is a wine made from grapes coming from a small estate of less than 10 hectares composed of 3 vineyards of 21 to 36 years of average age. The 3 vineyards are called La Baixada, Coll Falset and Camp dén Piqué in the town of Gratallops.
These vineyards were planted on poor slate soils, located at 250 to 350 metres above sea level and a continental climate with Mediterranean influence.
Winemaking
The grapes have been harvested by hand according to the optimum moment of ripeness in each of the areas of the estate. When the bunches arrive at the winery, they are destemmed and pressed by gentle crushing. The must obtained is stored in wooden vats for about 40 days.
The wine is then aged in French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and then aged for 19 months.
Taste
Finca Dofí is an elegant, fresh and aromatic wine combined with hints of minerals, spices and very clean flavours; it is concentrated and powerful. It is a voluptuous, deep, generous wine with perfectly coated tannins.
A wine of great depth and very tasty.
Finca Dofí is a wine that intoxicates with the purity of the character of the different varieties, its aromas, its irresistible silkiness and also has good ageing potential. It is a worthy representative of the Álvaro Palacios winery.
This wine is ideal as an accompaniment to starters of Iberian cured meats and cheeses, as well as main courses of red meats, roasts and big game.
