Álvaro acquired his first vineyard, Finca Dofí, in 1990. Finca Dofí is a renowned vineyard situated in the village of Gratallops. The vineyard is planted on steep slopes with decomposed slate and schist soil known locally as llicorella.
Fermentation occurred in oak vats with 10% full clusters and indigenous yeast. Skin maceration lasted for 32 days. Finca Dofí matured in large French oak barrels (bocoyes and foudres) for 14 months.
