92+ The white 2022 Terroir Històric Blanc is the regional wine that blends grapes from nine different villages, 75% Garnacha Blanca and 25% Macabeo from different soils, slate, clay, granite and alluvial. The bunches fermented for three to five days in stainless steel, and the wine matured in stainless steel for six months. It has 13% alcohol and mellow acidity, 4.5 grams. It has a spectacular nose that is very expressive, aromatic, clean and open with pungent notes of pollen and beeswax. It's juicy, round and clean with persistent and pungent flavors, not very high in acidity, eminently Mediterranean. Really impressive. 10,680 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023. (LG)

Notes

Terroir al Límit was founded in 2003 by Dominik Huber and Eben Sadie. Both fell in love with the Priorat region while working at Mas Martinet and Cims de Porrera, respectively. They later teamed up with local winemaker Jaume Sabaté, who offered guidance on where to find the best vineyard plots and how to cultivate them. The winery’s style has evolved dramatically since its early days, transitioning from a “New World” approach—harvesting late and using significant amounts of new oak—to a more subtle style. The grapes are now harvested earlier, fermented as whole clusters and a gentler “infusion” style of extraction is favored. Over time, the winery transitioned to larger oak vessels and in 2021, all wood was eliminated, instead opting for neutral materials like concrete and steel to better express the purity and character of the local terroir. Unlike the site-specific wines of Terroir al Límit, Terroir Històric is devoted to expressing the overall character of Priorat in two colors: white and red. The project, which encourages young farmers to return to family vineyards in the nine villages in and around Torroja, was launched in 2015. A blend of Garnatxa Blanca and Macabeu, the Terroir Historic Blanc is pressed whole cluster, and ferments and ages for 6 months in a 5000L concrete tank.
