Terroir al Limit

Dominik Huber

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 in Priorat. With the help of the Perez family they are able to buy some grapes and make the first vintage Dits del Terra together. In 2003 they can then start their own cellar in Torroja del Priorat, where over the years more and more different wines are made. From 2007 Dominik is working full time on his Terroir al Limit and from that moment the way of winemaking changed. Barriques made way for barrels of 1200 to 3500 litres and 500 litre barrels were introduced. A way of vinification, where extraction gives way to a traditional Burgundian style of wine making. "Vinification entière", no pigeage or remontage all to avoid that power Priorat was always known for. There is a complete biodynamic approach by Dominik with as little sulfite as possible. The wines are really made for gastronomy, the wines are light, refined and elegant to match with dishes from the best cuisines. Since 2017 Dominik has a new project in Montsant, Terroir sense Fronteres. A selection of wines from Montsant made with the same philosophy. Website: : www.terroir-al-limit.com

Dominik Huber

Born in Munich in Germany, a completed degree in economics & marketing and then ending up as a winemaker in Priorat. It seems that Dominik took a different path in his life somewhere. That choice came from a passion for wine. For over 20 years now Dominik has been in Torroja del Priorat and if you visit him you will understand why. Torroja is a beautiful village in Priorat surrounded by unique vineyards and the Scala Dei. Dominik has chosen a very natural approach to the vineyards and wines. Everything is biodynamic in vineyard and cellar and wine is made in a very fanatical way. Passionate as Dominik is about wines, he is also passionate about gastronomy. This is also the place, where his wines are at their best.

Arbossar 2020

In its youth, this wine is still quite hard and closed. After aeration, it has a lot of red fruit with tannins and a refined, long aftertaste. A wine that benefits from ageing.

Dits del Terra 2018

The fact that the vineyard has a southern exposition can be tasted in the fruity character of the wine. A lot of red fruit, spices and enough tannin to ripen for a very long time.

Les Manyes 2019

Blindly one recognises immediately the tones of grenache. Lots of red fruit and spicy tones. The wine has very nicely integrated tannins and a refined acidity. The combination makes that this wine can age for many years.

Les Tosses 2019

This wine needs a lot of air when you start drinking it. Decanting is a must. If the wine has had enough air, the smell and taste of red fruit and complexity are very pleasing.

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.

Terra de Cuques negre 2018

All red fruit and elegance in both aroma and taste. The aftertaste is long and elegant. This wine really needs air and gets better from decanting.

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.

Wine from Spain

Spain is seen as the sleeping giant in the wine world. It is of course a very large country where many different styles of wine are made in different wine regions from north to south and from east to west. From the sherries of the south, the sparkling wines of the Penedes and the powerful red wines of Rioja and Ribera del Duero.

Spanish red wine

The most important grape variety for Spanish red wine is Tempranillo. A grape variety that has several synonyms in the country is called the grape tinto del païs in Ribera del Duero, tinto fino in the Penedes and cencibel in the La Mancha wine region. But of course there are also other grapes and especially in rapidly emerging wine regions such as Bierzo where mencia is the main grape, Priorat with grenache and carignan or Valencia with its autochthonous varieties such as monastrell, forcalla, arco and bonicaire. Wine country Spain offers an enormous amount of choice and diversity.

Spanish white wine

In Spain, verdejo is of course an important grape variety for white wines and especially for the white wines from the Rueda wine region. More in the northeast in the wine region of Galicia, where designations of origin such as Rias Baixas, Valdeorras and Monterrei can be found, albarino and godello are the most important grapes. In the east in Priorat, on the other hand, more "French" grape varieties such as grenache blanc and macabeu. So diversity everywhere.

Spanish sparkling wine

In addition to the still wines, Spain is of course known for the sparkling wines made in the northeast of the country around Barcelona. Here in Penedes, xarel.lo, macabeo and parellada form the basis of sparkling wines made with a second fermentation in the bottle. We offer you Lacrima Baccus Cavas, certified organic cavas that are perfect as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a classic Spanish paella.
