Álvaro says that Finca Dofí “es muy sexy” this vintage and he is not wrong; this wine is pure, hedonistic pleasure. A gorgeous nose of pure blueberries and raspberries precedes fine, pure aromas, reminiscent of a strawberry sorbet. There is a sweet and luscious feel to this – but all is perfectly balanced via a stony mineral backbone.
The palate is sweet and fine, like summer pudding but with a poised, fine edge. It is gorgeously rounded and gloriously vibrant at the same time. The tannins drift down like gentle flakes of chalk and then dissipate immediately on the long, sweet, ripe, yet paradoxically wet-stone, fresh finish. Amazing. Drink 2025 to 2037.

“The 2023 Finca Dofí was still not bottled, like a few of the 2023s. It comes from the 12.5-hectare vineyard that names the wine, which extends across three different parajes, or lieu-dits, from Gratallops. The vines were planted 20 years ago on slopes and terraces, and in 2023, it delivered 95% Garnacha and 5% Cariñena that fermented with part of uncrushed grapes in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and had a 36-day maceration. It matured in oval oak foudres and large barrels for 15 months. When I tasted it last year, it surprised me because of it’s floral and perfumed profile. It continues the same, a character that has grown in the last few years, floral, aromatic and elegant, very clean and precise.” 96pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate
