The resulting wine is a blend of Grenache and Carignan grapes, with a deep ruby color and aromas of black fruit, spices, and herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a velvety texture and a long, elegant finish. Mas Doix Les Crestes is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, complex wine with a sense of place.
