Terroir Historic blanc 2021

Wine with a golden colour and a nose of candied citrus fruit and apricot. At the same time, there are spicy notes such as chamomile. Everything comes back in the taste. Nice minerality and even something savoury in the aftertaste.

The winemaker

Terroir al Limit	Spain	Priorat

About the winemaker It is the year 2000 when Dominik Huber and Eben Sadie meet at Mas Martinet in Spain. In 2001 they pick grapes together at the Perez family in Cims de Porrera for six weeks and become friends. After working together for two months at Spiceroute in South Africa, they start a small project together in Priorat. With the help of the Perez family they are able to buy some grapes and together make the first vintage Dits del Terra. This was the start of Terroir al Limit. Dominik has continued independently since 2012 and the vinification is focused on the style as we know it from Burgundy. Terra de Cuques are the "villages" Dits del Terra, Arbossar and Pedra de Guix, "premier cru" and Les Tosses and les Manyes the Grand Cru wines. The wines are really made for gastronomy, the wines are light, refined and elegant to match with dishes from the best cuisines.

Details

Vineyard	The vineyards are located in nine different villages: Bellmunt, Gratallops, El Lloar, Escaladei, Poboleda, Porrera, Torroja, Vilella Alta and Vilella Baixa. The altitudes vary from 350 to 800 meters. The soils are clay-rich, granite-rich, shale-rich or alluvial.
Vinification	The harvest for this wine is entirely manual and 12-kilogram boxes are used. The bunches are then put whole into cement vats, which are sealed. After this, the natural yeasts have to do their work. This is an unusual vinification for white wine, resulting in a slightly oxidative wine. After fermentation, the wine is pressed and finally stays on cement for another 6 months.
