Terroir Al Limit Historic Blanc 2023

Enjoy it now, or cellar for a few years. No need to decant before serving. The Terroir Històric Blanc is packed with herbal aromas of sage and low-lying mountain shrubs, which mingle with sharp notes of citrus rind and orange blossom. It is crafted from the traditional white grape varieties of Priorat: 75% Grenache Blanc and 25% Macabeo. Terroir al Límit is a joint project between Dominik Huber and Eben Sadie, who met while working at Mas Martinet, a Catalonian vineyard owned by the Perez family. In 2001 they began their own winery, with a focus on specific terroirs around Priorat. However, in 2015 they expanded their focus and launched Terroir Històric, a line that seeks to express the region of Priorat in its entirety. This wine was made from fruits sourced from 9 separate villages across the region of Priorat. It is vibrant and juicy in the mouth, coursing with acidity, notes of lemon and orange, and a strong herbal undercurrent. The fruits were aged in a neutral stainless steel tank for 6 months before bottling - Terroir al Límit do not oak their wines, instead they focus on creating the purest fruit flavours possible. The finish is long, satisfying and slightly creamy. This wine will pair well with pork, chicken, or dishes rich in herbs and cream.
