Details
Terroir al Límit Històric 2022
A blend of Grenache and Carignan, the wine Terroir al Límit Històric homages the nine villages which constitute what is known as the "Historical Priorat"; namely, Bellmunt, Gratallops, La Morera del Montsant (which includes Escaladei), El Lloar, Poboleda, Porrera, Torroja, La Vilella Alta and La Vilella Baixa.
Produced by Terroir al Límit, this Spanish red wine from DOQ Priorat is sourced from vines 35 to 50 years old, grown in slate, granite and clay soils, and farmed following the principles of biodynamic agriculture.
Harvested by hand, the whole bunches fermented spontaneously in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts. No pump-overs or stirrings were performed, in order to obtain a gentle infusion - instead of an extraction of tannin and colour from the grapes. - After that, the wine Terroir al Límit Històric 2022 was aged for 6 months in stainless steel tanks.
We suggest that you aerate this gentle Priorat red wine some time before you drink it.
