Pedra de Guix 2021

The wine has a special colour and smell. Something of nuts, but certainly also yellow and white fruit. Very complex taste and almost reminiscent of Burgundy.

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 vineyard for the PX is in Lloar and the soil here consists largely of clay. Macabeo is on a vineyard in Torroja, where the soil is rich in river rock, finally grenache is on slate in Poboleda.
Vinification	There is a yield here of 3,000 kilos per hectare and a production of 4,000 bottles. All grapes are pressed in an old vertical basket press. The grapes are crushed by walking on them for an hour while the press is slowly filled and then pressed directly. The three grapes are pressed separately and vinified in 500 liter barrels. After years of working with different barrels and sizes, this wine is made with 500 liter barrels. The wine stays in these for 10 months. After this, the blending takes place, after which the wine stays another 10 months in large Austrian wooden casks.
